Successful atlast :Installation of NetRexx on Win98

[Sandeep Desai-2]

Thanks to Mike and Satguru for helping me out with the installation  of NetRexx on Win98.

The problem was with the CLASSPATH.It had double quotes in it (Mike had pointed this out to me).

I had noticed a very interesting fact, while I was going through this exercise. Let me share this with you.

            "Java allows double quotes in the CLASSPATH, but NetRexx doesn't!!"

Does this has to do with the respective compilers? Do let me know more on this.

Also, if I could get some guidance, as to how I should proceed learning this language it would be helpful.

Best regards

Sandeep Desai

You said:

But I'm not quite sure what you mean by this -- it's Java  that does the
searching for classes invoked by the NetRexx compiler (for example, the javac
Main class), not NetRexx.

Both Java and NetRexx would appear to accept certain double quotes entered in an
MS-DOS prompt window, as the quotes in that case are stripped off by the command
processor.
