subject: Classic REXX files?

In a message dated 09-02-99, Mike Ruskai said to David Noon about "Classic
REXX files?"

Hi Mike,

MR>There's also the following:

MR>REX.MSG (CREX.MSG)
MR>REXH.MSG (CREXH.MSG)

Forgot about those two, but CREXX versions should simply be subsets of the
OREXX versions.

MR>REXXUTIL.DLL (CREXUTIL.DLL)

This guy is the same for both OREXX and CREXX as of FP#5 for Warp 4 and
FP#35 for Warp 3 (or thereabouts).

MR>I do believe, however, that REXX.DLL is all that's required for SAA REXX
MR>to function.  It'd probably simply display incorrect messages, or break
MR>when the need for a message arose, if the above two files were not
MR>replaced.

All the CREXX error messages were "grandfathered" by OREXX, and a few new
ones were added, so CREXX should be operable with OREXX message files.
However, OREXX might have problems using CREXX message files.

MR>I have no idea what would happen if one attempt to use OREXX's REXXUTIL 
MR>library with SAA REXX.  I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work.

It should be fine these days.

Regards

Dave
