Hi Mike,
As mentioned elsewhere, Peter is not developing the code anymore and has said to me that he doesn't even have the sources available. Same too, I remember using this a while back and it worked quite well. Unfortunately, I stupidly delete the package when I was done with it. I'll never learn. If anyone has a copy of the classes, I'll be happy to disassemble them and post the results.

"Keeping copies" is so old-school :) I haven't tested any new features of 3.01, but recompiled (from within jedit/NetRexxDE) and also ran a few of my latest projects without any errors. The projects makes usage of RXFile, remote connections, self-build GUI stuff, various external java libraries... shortly representing the usual mix of a private user and it worked flawlessly, as usual in the Rexx family, thanks a lot! kp _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

I decompiled NrxDoc with JD-GUI. Unfortunately, the classes had symbols stripped, so decoding it will be a brain teaser. I'll be glad to email the result to anyone inclined to have at it.

My email experiments with JavaMail went well. So though I'm a newbie, it gets my seal of approval.

Hardly show stoppers but I noticed a couple of anomalies in the NetRexx 3 PDF dated Sept 5, 2011.

Hi René -
Sorry to be so late to the party - I have been busy for the last month moving off continent (I am in Hawaii now.) and have not had much computer access. I now have some limited computer time and have been testing RC3. I have used it with NetRexxDE and NetRexxScript under jEdit. I have not yet run all of my test cases but have concentrated on those involving the new compiler/interpreter interfaces and the "loopover" cases. So far I have not encountered any problems running my test programs. However, the section from the old user guide describing the new api to interpret programs from memory strings is missing in the new programmers guide. I hope to get time to work on integrating the latest changes in 3.01 with the after3.01 branch changes soon. -- Kermit On 8/14/2012 11:36 PM, rvjansen wrote: > Please test RC3 well, without bug reports it is going to be 3.01 in a > week's time.

Hi George,
thanks for your remarks. This is going to be fixed some time in the future when we move away from [open,libre]office. For the other books, we have switch off the gutters (unless we are producing books for printing). We might have to do away with the Roman numerals for the introduction (and other preface material) to get them matching with what PDF thinks. best regards, René.

I just rebuilt some of my Android Apps. So far, so good. The method for adding external jars to a project changed in the latest eclipse ADT but after fixing that it seems to run well. Note: I used eclipse netrexx plugin in Eclipse Juno but did set plugin option to compile with RC3 release.

Jason, thanks for verifying that this works. I'll update the plugin
when I can.

I'm loving NetRexx! But without "The NetRexx Language" you can get a little lost. There really isn't any free public source of information quite like it.

Hi Earl,
everything in the book should be available in the set manuals that accompany the NetRexx distribution, and more when they are finished. When there is sufficient interest, we can make e-books out of these, but pdf as it is covers quite a range of devices. The pdf's are already optimized for smaller devices, as we have left out all the blank pages and the gutters that are needed for the paper book. best regards, René.

René,
The PDFs I got with the distribution were not complete. Is this because I downloaded the release candidate and not the GA release?

Earl,
In the GA release the NetRexx QuickStart Guide and the Netrexx Language Reference are complete. The reference always was, while the QuickStart guide is new and based on the User's Guide but with some material added, and some left out (Visual J++ left out, and NetRexxA api moved mostly to the Programmer's Guide). The NetRexx Programmer's Guide needs some work still, and will probably nearing completion for release 3.02. When you have suggestions to add topics, they are always welcome. To reiterate, nearly everything in the paper book should be in the PDF series. best regards, René.

Hi Kermit,
good to hear from you and congratulations on the move. Thanks for testing. With things as they are, 3.01 will be final next Thursday and we can start work on the new features. I hope David has time to branch for release, otherwise I will do that. I am under the impression that the parts on the compiler API and compiling from memory string are in the Programmer's Guide- but I will double check and I re-inserted a small example of compiling from memory strings back into the QuickStart Guide, with a reference to the Programmer's Guide. When we convert the nrl, the nightmare that version management with odt is will end, so the chance of losing edits going forward is slight. best regards, René.

OK, I've tried and I'm not getting anywhere fast (translating Java examples to NetRexx that is). Does anybody have an example of using JRIO from a NetRexx program?

You'll find my NetRexx2 document at http://speleotrove.com/#computing. It has everything in the book (it uses the same source files) + the later supplement (and it's free). You can read it on your Kindle, of course. I believe the RexxLA PDF is a superset of that .. René will be able to confirm/deny.
