rexx(Restructured Extended Executor), Vispro Rexx vs VX

Vispro Rexx vs VX - Rexx

Author	Message
V.K. Josh #1 / 5	Vispro Rexx vs VX - Rexx Hi, I'm looking for a rexx compiler and would like comparisons of Vispro Rexx vs VX - Rexx. I have no experience with either of them so can anyone give me an advise on which one to buy based on the following requirements : - Need standalone royaltee free executables of my existing cgi-scripts - These scripts make use of the DB2 rexx interface and have to work after compilation. - The scripts call other scripts and this should still work after compilation. Actually i need a compiler that will compile any existing rexx scripts without me having to change the code. Nice features would be : - Visual programing environement a la Visual Age - Good libraries for socket, namedpipe, ipc - Small en fast executables 8). Any advice would be greately appreciated, please send cc to email address aswell. thanks in advance, Vivek Joshi

You have the option to build a self contained app (no additional vpr runtime needed) or a small version that requires the runtime files. You can compile your scripts in a standard mode that can be read with a simple text editior or encrypt it or even compile it into pre-tokenized code...

Well, eventhough the scripts are compiled, it's STILL run like a rexx script. That is, through an interpreter... Quote: >Any advice would be greately appreciated, please send cc to email >address aswell. My advice is... If it's visual and rexx, you HAVE to go VisproRexx. But don't bother buying the Bronze version, you'll soon outgrow it and desire the extra features of the Gold version. Go GOLD. -- /-------------------------------------\ \-------------------------------------/

Well i took your advise (after testdriving the evaluation version). It works great !!! But I have one question how do I get the arguments passed to the program ? Parse Arg returns an Integer probably identifying the window. Can't find anything in the online help (haven't had time to read the manual yet. Besides Vispro Rexx works so intuitive that you don't nead to.) Is there a way to just compile existing rexx .cmd files without making them visual ? thanks, Vivek Joshi
