[netrexx-course] New release of NETREXX available

[madodel]

Just saw the following and thought I'd pass it on -
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx/

NetRexx 1.160 is now available. For details, please see the changes
                list and the updated NetRexx Supplement. [10 Feb 2000]

Updates:
           
 1.160
 [10 Feb 2000]
           This release has some useful enhancements, along with some
problem fixes and other improvements:

              The if clause in the if instruction and the when clause in
the select
              instruction have both been enhanced to accept multiple
expressions,
              separated by commas. These are evaluated in turn from left
to right, and if
              the result of any evaluation is 1 (or equals the case
expression for a
              when clause in a select case instruction) then the test has
succeeded
              and the instruction following the associated then clause is
executed.

              Note that once an expression evaluation has resulted in a
successful test, no
              further expressions in the clause are evaluated. So, for
example, in:

              -- assume name is a string
              if name=null, name='' then say 'Empty'

              then if name does not refer to an object it will compare
equal to null and
              the say instruction will be executed without evaluating the
second
              expression in the if clause.

              Here is an example in a select case instruction:

              select case i
                when 1 then say 'one'
                when 2 then say 'two'
                when 3, 4, 5 then say 'many'
              end

              The select case instruction will now generate a Java switch
              instruction under the right conditions. See the NetRexx
Supplement for
              details.
              The new nojava option allows Java code generation to be
inhibited. This
              can be used to speed up a syntax checking run, when no
compilation or
              Java source code is required.
              Invoking NetRexxC with no arguments will now display all
options, not
              just the 'outer level' options.
              The class Exception is now treated as a Checked exception
(as Java
              does).
              Calls to super() in dependent classes may now be qualified
by
              parent. as well as by constructor arguments, if appropriate.

              .jar files in the /lib/ext (automatic extensions in Java 2
[1.2]) are
              automatically added to the classpath.
              Classpaths containing multiple quoted segments are now
handled correctly,
              and various other minor problems have been fixed.
              Several optimizations and improvements to formatting have
been added.
