20 ARexx, ARexx, ARexx. 2.0 has ARexx. So, why and how do I
23 The "Why?" has been answered elsewhere and that is not what this
24 article is about. Let it suffice that you should support ARexx
25 within your application. It is a standard that Commodore is
26 pushing and we hope that all new applications will have ARexx
29 As to the "How?", that is what this article is about. We
30 understand that your existing software may not currently support
31 ARexx and that some of you may never even have looked at what is
32 needed to support ARexx. New applications can be designed with
33 ARexx support in mind and, with the advent of the AppShell by
34 David Junod, the work involved to support ARexx is nothing more
35 than what is needed to support the features within you
36 application. However, existing code may not move into the
37 AppShell to easily and you may wish to do a minor upgrade to
38 your application to support ARexx.
40 SimpleRexx is a set of routines that handle the low-level ARexx
41 work for you in such a way as to have your application work with
42 or without ARexx on the target system. The goal of SimpleRexx is
43 to make adding at least the minimum level of ARexx support to an
44 application a trivial task.
