njPipes 0.33 release

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

I have just released version 0.33 of njPipe, my unoffical port of the CMS/TSO
Pipeline product to netrexx and java.  New in this release are more improved
and contributed stages.  The support of reportEOF(ANY) has also been enhanced.  
I have also modified the compiler to call a stageExit which can be used to do
generate dynamic stages or alter the pipe's topology.

- From the readme:

    0.33 - Release July 5, 1998
         - added rexxArg() and stageArg() methods to utils.nrx for use by the
           compiler to query stages about what they expect their arguements to
           contain.  This allowed the compiler to be simplified.
         - locate now handles null arguements correctly.  literals now include
           leading blanks.  Thanks for pointing out the problem René.
         - René Jansen contributed the timestamp stage.
         - logic modified to stop output() from getting an EOF when the output
           object has been peeked.  The peek status is also displayed by the
           dump() method and hense by deadlocks.
         - minor specs bug fixes (next.n and nextw.n output specs now work)
         - modified the compiler to invoke stageExit(rexx,rexx) method.  This
           allows stages to generate code and/or change the pipe topology.  See
           specs, append, prefix, change and xnop, in the stages directory.
         - modified StageError in preparation for usage changes.
         - removed the Range class - Jeff's code is better and anything that
           could be done with Range can be done using stageExit.
         - Jeff fixed bugs in change and join and added:
           fblock          joincont        notinside       outside
           inside
    0.32 - Released June 20, 1998
           Jeff updated these stages adding a few new ones too:
           abbrev          between         split           locate
           nlocate         strnfind        strfind         nfind
           find            chop
         - minor docuementation updates
         - the Range class is depreciated and will be removed.  Use the
           replacements Jeff created (see pipes\utils.nrx and stages\).

    Planned for the next month or three (pending BUGS! and my time)

    0.xx - lookup and has been requested any interested coders out there?
    0.xx - implement the new StageError code thoughout njPipes
    0.xx - optimize pipe startup time for call/add pipe (eliminate Vectors)
    0.xx - add filters to extract pipes from java code.

As alway please send any new or improved stages, comments, questions
or bug reports to: [hidden email]

Luck,
