Here's what you need to download NetRexx packages.

NetRexx packages are available in both zip and tar+gzip format. The packages available are:

  1. nrexx: Toolkit and online documentation:
  2. nrps: Printable (PostScript) documentation:

The NetRexx documentation and software are distributed free of charge under the conditions of the IBM Employee-Written Software program. If you download or use a NetRexx package you agree to the terms in the IBM License Agreement for Employee-Written Software. Please read it before downloading.

To view the online documentation you need a text editor or a Web browser.

To run the software, you will need the Java runtime and toolkit (from the 1.x Java development kit) installed on your target machine. For more information on these:


Toolkit download and installation

  1. Download the NetRexx 0.75 package [7 Aug 1996].
    Choose either:
  2. Unpack the file you downloaded (a separate directory is strongly recommended). Please note that the package contains subdirectories and files with "long names" and case-sensitive names. Detailed instructions are available in the installation instructions; please read these before installing.

    You can also extract the installation instructions as the file nrinst.doc from the package you downloaded.

  3. Once unpacked into a directory, you can view all the NetRexx documentation locally by pointing your Web browser at the 'root' documentation file netrexx.htm, or browse the files that have .doc as their file extension/type.
  4. To use the NetRexx compiler or the NetRexx class files, you'll need to unpack one of the Zip or Gzip files included within the nrexx package. Again, please see the installation instructions.

Printable documentation download and use

  1. Download the NetRexx 0.75 print package [7 Aug 1996].
    Choose either:
  2. Unpack the file you downloaded (a separate directory is recommended). Detailed instructions on unpacking are available in the installation instructions; please read these if you are unsure of how to unpack the file, or if you have any problems.

    You can also extract the installation instructions from the nrexx package, as the file nrinst.doc.

  3. Once unpacked into a directory, you can print any files in the new nrps directory on any PostScript printer, or view them with a PostScript viewer (such as GhostScript).
