- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

- Summary:
-
- REXX (REstructured eXtended eXecutor) scripts can run with Windows NT
- without modification. However, you must make some changes to your
- Windows NT system and have OS/2 version 1.3 files available to run
- these scripts.
-
- The following procedure enables Windows NT to support REXX scripts:
-
- 1. From OS/2 version 1.3, copy CMD.EXE to a hard disk drive on your
- Windows NT machine.
-
- 2. Also from OS/2 version 1.3, copy the REXX dynamic-link library
- (DLL) files to your Windows NT machine. Make sure these files reside
- in a directory in your OS/2 library path.
-
- Note: REXX DLL files should have the form "REXX*.DLL" and be located
- in the \OS2\DLL subdirectory of your OS/2 installation.
-
- 3. Execute CMD.EXE from Windows NT.
-
- You should be able to run REXX scripts now. Note the following:
-
- - REXX scripts should have two-letter prefixes of "/*" and
- three-letter extensions of "CMD."
-
- - The first REXX script you run may not work. After you run it again,
- all subsequent REXX scripts should run properly, including the first
- script you ran.
-
- - Make sure all the OS/2 files you copied are version 1.3.
