Installation of just the NetRexx classes


Here's how to install the NetRexx runtime classes (you don't need to do this if you already installed the NetRexxC compiler).

  1. Copy the 'nrclass.zip' or 'nrclass.tar.gz' file from the NetRexx documentation directory to the Java home directory (for example, /JAVAHOME), using the original name.
  2. With the Java home directory as your current directory, unpack the package, following the instructions in "Unpacking NetRexx packages" above.

    This should add the NetRexx classes subdirectory ('classes/netrexx/lang' or 'classes\netrexx\lang') to your Java directory tree.

  3. Check that the names are correct in that directory: there should be a file in the directory called 'Rexx.class' -- if the first letter is lowercase, or the 'ss' of 'class' is missing, the package has not been installed correctly.

The NetRexx class files can then be referred to from Java or NetRexx programs as from package 'netrexx.lang'. For example, a string might be of class 'netrexx.lang.Rexx'.
