Fwd: Re: [Ibm-netrexx] Is this manual obsolete?

[ThSITC]

Hello Rene,
   do we (e.g. REXXLA) have the *copyrights* of the *former IBM RED-Book*
after the formal Hand-Over of NetRexx to REXXLA?

   e.g.:

  When we are doing a sub-project to bring this RED-Book up to date,
(maintaining it, and NOTICING the original Author's (all IBM employee's, at the time it has been written) and probably do not call it a RED book anymore)

Will we be (due to the Contract REXXLA has with IBM)

*auhorized to do so* ?

??????????

Thomas Schneider.

PS: And I'm adding a +1 vote for

<applause, applause>

for your recent work on NetRexxC 3.01RC1

Well, if anyone updates the "Redbook" it will no longer be a redbook. I'd say just work on some new up-to-date documentation, which I have been having a hard time finding.

Hello all there,

  any PLANS to update the REDBOOK (in a forseeable future).

In particular, the AWT examples shall be replace by SWINGX (personal opinion) :-),

Alan, *no fight's* please, just a suggestion, *and* a comment!

Thomas.

Thanks, Allen, that worked perfectly.

It was my hacking that tried the this.List; the original was just List(5).

I just downloaded the RedBook and I don't see a "this.List(5)" anywhere in the document, so you may have a transcription error.  I think the code should just be:

 LstWho = List(5) -- define a List Box

While IBM dropped native support for Java on VM some time ago, the basic principles described in the RedBook are probably still good with regard to NetRexx programing; albeit a little outdated.  Based on the date of the publication however some things in Java itself have changed so you'll probably get a name collision with the java.util.List class and the java.awt.List class too.  Try adding:

import java.awt.List

before the first "Class" statement in the program or explicitly define  LstWho as a java.awt.List object:

 LstWho = java.awt.List(5) -- define a List Box

For what it's worth, I copied the code for AboutFrame from the RedBook and have been able to compile and run it under Mac OS X.

I'm trying to learn using the sample in chapter 5 called AboutFrame.nrx but it will not compile.
