Dear ARexx enthusiast...
"ListEnv.rexx" is an ARexx program that will list the contents of
all the environment variables found in your ENV: directory.
"ListEnv.tutor" is the exact same program as above except that it
is almost three times as large due to extensive comments and
tutorializing. This should make good example reading for people
starting out in ARexx as it shows off many of ARexx's functions and
instructions as well as demonstrating a variety of techniques that
actually do something useful and understandable along the way.
The ListEnv.rexx program was originally written by Don Meyer and
release into the public domain. That is how it got to me. Public
Domain is how it remains.
This started out as playing for about 5 minutes... 5 hours later
I had thoroughly rewritten, corrected, modified and tutorialized this
example ARexx program.
Once I got going it was done mostly with the intention to teach
some (if not many) of the capabilities of ARexx as well as show many
working examples of things not covered well enough in the real ARexx
manual.
I still consider myself to be learning ARexx, so if you are an
expert at it and find the program revolting in any way or can make
suggestions for microscopic or global improvements I would LOVE to
hear about it (them).
If you are a beginner to ARexx, play around, make some changes and
see what happens. If you have any questions just leave me Mail on
PeopleLink (TO: JEREMY) or I can be reached more directly on my BBS
at 203-847-6235 in Norwalk, CT (leave Mail or comments TO: SYSOP).
