| Hi there,
there is a new version of BSF4Rexx available from:
<http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/>
This is the same version that included with the MacOS X version of ooRexx containing the following
enhancements:
* added behaviour to treat "netrexx.lang.Rexx" objects (from Mike F. Cowlishaw's NetRexx) exactly
the same as "java.lang.String"
* added function 'BsfShowErrorMessage(0|1)'; if set to '0' (.false), then in case of a Java
exception no error message is printed automatically anymore; the Rexx variable 'BSF_ERROR_MESSAGE'
will contain in either case the Java exception message for further inspection
* added an updated version of the reference card file in PDF format to the distribution; it also is
directly retrievable from <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bs...ardBSF4Rexx.pdf>
BSF4Rexx is an add-on package for ooRexx and allows using Java (class) objects as if they were
ooRexx (class) objects. Rexx scripts created for BSF4Rexx can be run unchanged on Linux, MacOSX and
Windows, by virtue of the openplatfromness of Java.
Furthermore BSF4Rexx includes the support to automate/script the free and opensource business suite
"OpenOffice.org" <http://www.OpenOffice.org>. All such scripts are as well openplatform, i.e. they
run unchanged on all the platforms OpenOffice and BSF4Rexx are available.
BSF4Rexx comes with numerous nutshell samples, demonstrating some of the functionality that becomes
possible with it. These samples should help you jump start in exploiting the technology.
The ooRexx homepage with links to download the free and opensource ooRexx is: <http://www.ooRexx.org>
Regards,
