    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi mikrom; Thanks for the response. Why don't I use livecode? Ha Ha Ha. Let me hold my laughter for a second before I proceed. Oh if you only knew my pain. I have actually completed my main app using Livecode(LC). The only flaw with LC is that it only lets you communicate with windows created...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi mikrom; Thanks for the feedback In reality I only need rexx (probably ooRexx) to only do a few simple things like the three items shown below in a cross platform manner (linux and Mac os x) since for the windows OS I have used the livecode language particularly for the complex GUI and...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi mikrom; With respect of a few scripting languages that convert to a single executable there are many I have used, but here are a few: vbscripts can be compiled into a single .exe that is executed directly within the executable file. The executable uses a built in Wscript object so even if...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi mikrom; I will take your recommendation under consideration since it seems a decent happy medium. I also downloaded your file. Thank you. I guess I (and all my clients) have gotten spoiled with the other scripting languages I have previously used which compile into a single real machine code...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi mikrom; Thanks for your response. I will try it myself later on this week. One last question to make sure. Do you need just the ONE interpreter file along with "helloc" or does the user need to install ALL of the installation files including the interpreter file? I think the user can live...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    For mikrom; I guess I am more confused now then before. The hello.rex file is only 21 bytes while the tokenized one (helloc) is 756 bytes (much larger) which would imply it has the interpreter built inside the file else why would it be so much larger? Thanks

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    For mikrom; Regarding your "REXXC" compiler reference, once "compiled", is the interpreter build into the compiled file so that the user need not install an interpreter onto their system as implied by your other reference "RexWrapper". I ask since it does not directly state that in the "REXXC"...

    Unclear on platform independent use after creation

    Hi to all. I am new to Rexx but have programmed in many other scripting languages and high level languages such as c and c++ etc. My question is typically when I compile other non Rexx scripts I get a true compiled item which I can take to the platform it was designed for and run it without...
