Fwd: Ask Leo! - If you're finding the newsletter helpful...

[ThSITC]

I'm just  (*one time*) forwarding this Ask*Leo weekly newsletter to the NetRexx Community:

I found Ask Leo quite informative ...

As I'm living and working for my own, I am dependent on people knowing more then me ;-)

Thomas Schneider.

=====================================================================

Leo, when You do have a *time slot*, You shall walk to www.netrexx.org,
and have a *look at NetRexx* :-)

NetRexx, as classic Rexx, has been originally designed and implemented by
Mike F. Cowlishaw, a former IBM fellow, now in pension from IBM, but still
acting as an IT-Professor there in the UK, I think.

NetRexx, as one of the variants of the Rexx Family of Languages (details on www.RexxLA.org)
is nowadays *open source*, as is Open Object Rexx (ooRexx, for short) as well, where You
shall find ooRexx on www.RexxLA.org.

You might have had used Rexx in the past, as it has been *The command Language* of OS/2,
and is also still used worldwide on nearly all IBM Computers a lot.

It's a real *pity* that dear Microsoft didn't use Rexx as it's batch language, I think-

The SAA Rexx variation may be obtained from www.rexx.org, as Mark Hessling and others
are maintaining this version, called *Regina*, by the way :-). You shall find this on www.rexx.org

The NetRexx Translator is unique in the way that it might be used both as an Interpreter
as well as a compiler usable with any and all Java classes and methods :-)

It's syntax and semantic are, however, much more human and easier to learn and use
as pure Java.

Having said that, Leo, I ask You now to have Your group have a look and forward
this info back to Ask*Leo after Your review, when You find the approach interesting.

Any questions: send a mail to this group, as here are all the Rexx enthusiasts as me anyway!

Kind regards,
Thomas Schneider, Vienna, Austria.

Hello again Thomas,

I hope you're finding the Ask Leo! Newsletter helpful,
informative and perhaps occasionally even a little
entertaining. :-)

I'd like to ask you for a little help.

If you're liking my little twice-a-week newsletter I'd
like to ask you to invite others - friends, family
members, coworkers - to subscribe as well. Invite anyone
you feel that might benefit from the answers I put
together for each issue.

Computers are difficult and confusing beasts at times.  By
now I hope you've seen that I try make them less "beastly"
... and I'm guessing you know someone who could use a
little help and information.

Just point them at:

    http://newsletter.askleo.com

and invite them to come along for our ride. As you know,
it's completely free.

And hopefully helpful.

Don't forget: as an Ask Leo! newsletter subscriber the
best way for you submit a question is to head on over to
the subscriber-only "ask a question" page:

    http://askleo.com/subscriber

Thanks again for subscribing - I'll talk to you again soon.
