How to setup NetRexxC 3.00 on Windows Systems

ThSITC
Hello Kermit,
    I've just read your recent posts mentioning that you are running
Windows7.

I am running Windows XP on my desktop and Windows 7 on my NetBook.

I currently have setup two directories on my C: disk, which does only
contain
Windows and all Software I downloaded from somewhere.

At the C: drive, I'm having two main directories now:

C:\NetRexxC.2.05    -- containing the 2.05 NetRexx Compiler
C:\NetRexxC.3.00    -- containing the 3.00 NetRexx Compiler (initial
release)

Now, my question:

What is the recommended method (nrc.bat) to invoke those two compilers
*alternatively* and having the ability to switch between the two versions
*without having* to change the %CLASSPATH% everytime.

Any recommendation, what method I should use?

Thomas.

Thomas -

I do not use the nrc.bat file. I interpret NetRexx programs with the
NetRexxScript plugin under jEdit or compile quick test programs with the
NetRexxDE plugin also in jEdit. I compile my production NetRexx modules
using ANT. If I was using the nrc.bat approach and wanted to run the two
different NetRexx versions, I would probably make two versions of the
NetRexxC.bat file with different classpath specifications like:

java -ms4M %netrexx_java% -cp C:\NetRexxC.2.05\NetRexxC.jar
COM.ibm.netrexx.process.NetRexxC %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

and

java -ms4M %netrexx_java% -cp C:\NetRexxC.3.00\NetRexxC.jar
COM.ibm.netrexx.process.NetRexxC %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

and name them nrc205.bat and nrc300.bat


René and David -

This question brings some more thoughts to my mind. We don't yet have a
full 3.00 distribution with the bin and samples that go with the
translator and run time jars like the way IBM distributed 2.05. I am
assuming that they are included in the open source handover of course.
Is someone working on such a package? Should we open an issue for that
task? Also, I have been wondering how much of the documentation was
turned over by IBM. Is Mike going to continue hosting TNRL2 or is
RexxLA? Will there be a published book form? Should NetRexx become a
"standard"some day like Rexx? Are there trademarks associated with
NetRexx? Sheesh - there are probably lots more questions I haven't even
thought of yet! Sorry to flood you with them. :-)
