Installation of NetRexx Executables


The NetRexx package includes two packages of software (each will have the same suffix as the package you unpacked it from, nrexx.zip or nrexx.tar.gz):

  1. nrtools -- the Java .class files that implement the NetRexx compiler. The NetRexx compiler is in fact a translator; it translates NetRexx programs to Java source code, which is then compiled using the javac compiler (or you can use the Java compiler of your choice, if you prefer). This package requires that the Java toolkit (1.x) be installed.
  2. nrclass -- the Java .class files that implement the Rexx string class provided by NetRexx. These class files should work with any Java runtime or toolkit (beta or 1.x).

To install and use either of these packages, you must have already installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) runtime (and toolkit, if you want to compile NetRexx programs). For more information on these:
