subject: Classic REXX files?

In a message dated 08-29-99, Steve Mccrystal said to All about "Classic REXX
files?"

Hi Steve,

SM>Does anyone have (or has anyone seen) a list of all the 
SM>files needed to use classic REXX?  Somehow, my CREXX files 
SM>got munged, I suspect a FIXPAK, but I'm not sure.  In any 
SM>case, it appears as tho some of the files are missing.

There are only 2 that differ between OREXX and CREXX, AFAIK.

If you are running Warp 3 with the OREXX add-on, you should SWITCHRX back to
CREXX before applying a Fixpak; then SWITCHRX back afterwards.

SM>In any case, I have a couple of programs that either don't 
SM>work with OREXX, or don't work properly.  I'd like to have 
SM>a working CREXX install, complete with the INF file, 
SM>available when I need it.  I'd deeply appreciate any advice 
SM>anyone might offer!

The only files that differ, AFAIK, are REXX.DLL and REXX.INF. Your CREXX
ones should be called CREXX.DLL and CREXX.INF when you are running OREXX,
and when you are running CREXX the OREXX ones are called OREXX.DLL and
OREXX.INF.

You could try SWITCHRX and re-boot. This might switch you back to OREXX.
However, if you are running Warp 4 then the CSF should have handled the REXX
maintenance correctly regardless of which interpreter you are running.

Regards

Dave
