SUBJECT dev/misc/NetRexx - NetRexx now available, all platforms URL http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx/ (Application) DESCRIPTION I'm pleased to report that the NetRexx translator/compiler has now been successfully ported to NetRexx, and so should run on all platforms that support the Java toolkit. NetRexx is a new programming language derived from both Rexx and Java; it is a dialect of Rexx that retains the portability and efficiency of Java, while being as easy to learn and as productive as Rexx. NetRexx is an effective alternative to the Java language. With NetRexx, you can create programs and applets for the Java environment more easily than by programming in Java. Using Java classes is especially easy in NetRexx as you rarely have to worry about all the different types of numbers and strings that Java expects. The initial, experimental, implementation of the language is in the form of a translator that generates Java source code; the javac compiler is then used to generate Java bytecodes (class files), hence ensuring complete compatibility with other Java classes; NetRexx classes may use any Java classes, and vice versa. SOURCE Included, for samples, examples, and all documentation.
