I attempted to attach this but it's too large (something over 1 MB).  If anyone would like a copy and can handle the size (I think gmail can), drop me a line.

Not sure what the implications are (haven't used Google Documents).  I'm hoping Rene will request it and put it on NetRexx.org.

It's basically free to anyone with a gmail account.  I saved it there myself and created a link to it here: PDF of The NetRexx Tutorial by Pierantonio Marchesini

There's also https://www.dropbox.com/ which is another free online storage/file sharing site.  They even have an app. you can install on your desktop to get direct access of your Dropbox folders.

You could upload it to one of those free file upload services, like
Yousendit.com or MegaUpload.com.

Then you´d have to just post the link-

Thanks!

May I again *repeat* (the 1000's time) that:

*allowing attachments (of reaonable size) seems to be now a common
***feature*** *   (2010).

Please *do* allow attachments :-) :-) :-)

Hello Rene, *and all*,

thank you so much for all your efforts :-)

the only thing *I* would do*  is to replace the Date (1998!!!) with curtosey of the author to a more newer one....

Otherwise anybody will *think* that *NetRexx* is a *dead language* :-(

Greetings to Venetia, anyway,
and do NOT work too hard,

Mr. President!

Tom.

Hi Kenneth,

I do have a copy. But I do believe Rene already did put it on www.netrexx.org.

When you do *not* find it, pls. send me a private mail and I will forward it
to you....

Thomas.

Hi Alan,

I believe it is; I did not check until the end but it probably is it verbatim.

René.

Ancient copyrights are an IBM tradition. I remember complaining
repeatedly to IBM¨s John Soyring and anybody who would listen why the
"about box" of common OS/2 utilities displayed caveman-age copyright
noticies, instead of consistent copyright notices throughout the whole
operating system.

For instance, it was 1994, OS/2 Warp v3.0, and several GUI tools,
games etc contained copyrights of (c) 1988, 1989 IBM corporation". The
"feel" was that IBM was throwing ancient utilities into the mix.

Microsoft realized this was a problem, and from Windows 95 onwards,
all tools, no matter how old (ie MSPAINT.exe, Wordpad.exe) displayed
the same consistent copyright messages, all in line with the product
release date....

Oh well, this rant should be in  my book of tales to my grandson...

I think Thomas and Fernando are absolutely right that we must keep dates current, especially if they are in large font like the '1998' in Pierantonio's document. It is not only the date however that needs revision, I am also concerned with the large number of links that are stale and some of the content - and the layout could use some modernizing.

Referring back to an earlier remark by KP, we need to find a way to maintain this document. First, of course we need permission from Pierantonio, whom, by the way, I am addressing on a first name base although we never met. So if Mr Marchesini gives us his blessing, we can work on the content.

For this I have thought out the following procedure. I have put the website in a subversion repository, and I can give access to that to a small number of people that want to help. This way you can checkout the website to local storage, do work, see the results on a local server, then check in your changes. I can then review these and check out to the location from which the website runs. I do prefer this method over most content systems, though I am not ruling out that we will adopt one in the future - which needs to be JVM based and run NetRexx extensions.

So anyone who wants to help out with this, send me an email and I will send instructions.

best regards,

René.

I'll ask René Jansen directly for access.  Although I won't be able to
do anything for a couple of weeks.

But here, I'll ask, why not a simple Wiki for this?  There is, of
course, the possibility of error introduction, but with a community
these can be quickly fixed.  The two big advantages are 1) the big time
saving for the "leader," in this case  René Jansen, in having to review
each change prior to others seeing it.  And 2) no one needs to wait
while someone else has a section -- or the whole -- "checked out."  
Finally, simple changes are handled simply and are encouraged.

Someone may wish to do a few simple global changes, such as the
copyright attribution and date, before posting.

I have not seen a HTML version, so do not know how well CSS has been
used.  Maybe some of the layout modernizing will be in a single CSS
location.

Broken links are quickly found, even if finding a currently correct one
is not necessarily so.  A big job if one person needs to do it all at once.
