I see at least two ways through your problems
1. Those that insist must assist. If there exist those that insist on a particular toolset being used then they should, at a bare minimum, provide enough support to enable that use. 2. Like Tom, I can only suggest that the TeX family may be more comfortable for you - the important thing - for me at least - is that it be an open source solution to your problem. Like Mike, I am surprised that oOo has let you down - it can normally be persuaded to do the necessary. Cheers, Dave. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of rvjansen Sent: 28 September 2011 15:24 To: IBM Netrexx Subject: Re: [Ibm-netrexx] NetRexx 3.01 RC2 released Hi Dave, thanks for noticing. As it is, I am entirely unhappy with Open Office as a means for maintaining documentation - I am used to batch oriented, tagged text files that can be diff'ed and versioned, and keep my mind off of formatting issues. Now, I have to click tables and indexes to update them, need to notice headers and footers in different sections, and for example, in the language definition document I spent nearly half an hour to include the license information (which seems to be a feature of ICU- the need to attribute license and copright into the documentation)- I wanted to add it as an appendix but there was no way I could wedge another appendix between the existing ones and the index. This is when I gave up and added it in front. Why it refuses to number after header 1, it sometimes inserts a line and sometimes not, and generally reacts differently after clicking first somewhere else, is totally beyond me. In fact, only because the list contains some staunch Open Office fans (both speaking Spanish by the way) I have not given up yet. That moment might come soon though. I will try to work in the formal Java 1.5 dependency - it will make it less complex in some places. best regards, René Jansen.

Hello;
Whatever (open) format will be choosen in the future, if the sources are available in a SCM, I could have added myself the corrections - as far as I understand the implications). Maybe I've overlooked the source file on kenai in my hurry.

Hello Tom Maynard,
I am not really sure what you fixed, and what has been your source for the fix. Can you please send *some docuumentation* (*or* , *as attachments are NOT allowed on this list)* Some URL's and URI's I can read about all that? Please? Thank you so much, ... in advance.

Well, let's assume Adobe Acrobat reader. Can one select text from the PDF file (assuming it has not been marked to disallow that) and copy it to other applications?

Rene,
RE "files that can be diff'ed and versioned". One thing I'm pretty sure OOo can do is put marks in the margin indicating changed text. I last saw that in IBM manuals in the 60's and thought highly of the feature. Of course some sort of change log is also needed.

I use Foxit Reader v3.1.4.1125 and I'm perfectly capable of selecting text in a PDF, copying it to the clipboard and pasting it somewhere else. I just verified this with NRL3.PDF and this very note: The structure of a NetRexx program is extremely simple. This sample program, “toast”, is complete, documented, and executable as it stands: /* This wishes you the best of health. */ say 'Cheers!' This program consists of two lines: the first is an optional comment that describes the purpose of the program, and the second is a say instruction. say simply displays the result of the expression following it – in this case just a literal string (you can use either single or double quotes around strings, as you prefer). I can't speak for Adobe Acrobat since I stopped using it years ago.

Yes, you can. Using the same example as Tom...
NetRexx programs The structure of a NetRexx program is extremely simple. This sample program, "toast", is complete, documented, and executable as it stands: /* This wishes you the best of health. */ say 'Cheers!'

On documentation formats:
Tex and Latex like NetRexx is powerful magic. I still use it a lot. I even used the Maemo version on my Nokia N700 and N800 (small INTERNET tablets) years ago. An office suite without a GUI if you learn it. Having them output a PDF is as cross platform as you can get. OpenOffice works OK too. I think a lot of Unix and Linux systems now use DocBook. I know at one time IBM thought highly of it. On installers: I think letting the user manually set up his environment from reading very clearly stated documentation is OK. _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] Online Archive : http://ibm-netrexx.215625.n3.nabble.com/ |

René -
RC2 looks pretty good. Here are some more documentation issues: -warnexit0 appears to be an undocumented option. There is nothing in the ug PDF or the readme about it as far as I can see although everyone seems to know about it somehow. The historical change log does not mention the fix that Mike made 14 Jan 2005 for comment formatting. That is not a big deal except for the fact that the last release by IBM carries that 2005 date. Question: Do you want to include the script fix for the -run x.nrx problem that Rony reported (issue 52)? -- Kermit On 9/25/2011 3:12 PM, René Jansen wrote: > Some moments ago RC2 has been released to the netrexx.org download area. > > Changes between RC1 and RC2: > > - changed wording and addition of some license related information, in anticipation of IBM's response to our query > - added Rosettacode.org examples by Alan Sampson. > > The final release could now, depending on feedback, be soon.

Kermit,
yes, I think we owe it to Rony to put in the fix for the issue he uncovered. If you can check it into trunk it will be in the final 3.01. I will try to document the -warnexit0. best regards, René On Thu, 29 Sep 2011 01:30:50 -0700, Kermit Kiser wrote: > René - > > RC2 looks pretty good.

Mike,
yes, I would like the gml to have a look at and see what can be done with that. Copy/paste and empty out - I see. I would like to experiment with the user guide first, the language definition is ok as it is and probably much more stable content-wise. best regards, René.

Tom, I was asking about PDF files made from Tex/Latex
(rather than, say, Open Office). It used to be that Tex/Latex PDFs
did not have selectable text.

yes; selectable text, hyperlinks, etc. pdflatex does it all. I remember when it was problematic but now it is all solved. best regards, René.

In reply to this post by kenner
Is it finding an old version of NetRexx here?:
C:\Documents and Settings\keklein\My Documents\REXX\NetRexx\bin\NetRexxC.jar Can you give us an updated envirotest and tell us where you put the new version? http://kenai.com/projects/netrexx-plus/downloads/download/Envirotest/envirotest.class --KK On 9/30/2011 10:00 AM, [hidden email] wrote:
