3.01 RC3 acceptance testing

[rvjansen]

Earl,

jrio is being phased out. and will be gone from IBM's z/OS Java. I have
an example of using jzos for reading MVS datasets in my "NetRexx on the
Big Iron" presentation from 2011.

best regards,

René.

I have a strong dislike for PDF documents: (1) I don't like reading
books/manuals at the computer, and (2) while I can certainly read PDF
books on my tablet, I can't change the font size, or does it save my
place when I "close" the book. (I'm using Albiko on 7" Android tablet as
me eReader.)

Reading a PDF book means: Squinting at the tiny font, or zooming in and
then re-zooming on every page turn.  Toss in re-finding my place upon
return and PDF becomes something I avoid as much as possible.

I don't care about page layout (beyond a sensible basic), but EPub is
far better, IMO.

Of course, that's just me and my hardware setup, YMMV.

Tom.

e-Pub is next on the list. The current PDF reads very well on iPad and other devices in that vein, but I have come to see, while changing glasses in my spectacles (hmm, that is Brit for glasses - glasses in my glasses?) that very well has a low tolerance, now with my arm getting shorter. It will be 3.02 for e-pub, though.

best regards,

René.

I'm no absolutely no hurry, René.  I have read (and do read) the NetRexx
doc on my computer, portability would certainly be nice, but not a
requirement by any means.

[American English: "Changing lenses in my glasses," but we interoperate
rather well with the British, so either way is fine.]

Answer 2: it also depends on equipment and software. Preview on my 17" MacBook renders PDF very crisp and with awesome typography; it saves reading position, and leaves Reader in the dust.

Response 2: Agreed. Some day I will acquire another Apple product. My
last was (and still is, actually) a Powerbook 500 (circa 1994) ... if I
can find it.

I installed Eclipse NetRexx into Eclipse and when I go to the New menu, I don't see anything about NetRexx. Shouldn't I? I see Java Project as an option and that would be fine, if I was going to program in Java, but I'm not. Help from anyone with experience with Eclipse NetRexx would be appreciated.

Earl, I'm just finishing up a how to set up Eclipse for NetRexx
development - that is wortking with the NetRexx source.  It will be
available shortly.

Because NetRexx source is translated into Java, you want to use a Java
Project.  Just put the nrx files in the source folder.

I have not developed any wizards for NetRexx - just create a new file
with a name ending in .nrx and the editor will be used.

Bill

The Eclipse setup guide for NetRexx Compiler developers can be found here.

http://kenai.com/jira/secure/attachment/14879/Eclipse+Setup.txt

Note that this is not just to install Eclipse, but to set up the NetRexx
compiler source (from the kenai SVN site) as an Eclipse project.
