We are licensees of the Rexx compiler and I am familiar (I believe) with its options.
I am interested in "compressing" Rexx source code before compiling so as to: - remove comments and white space from the source code that ends up embedded in the Rexx load module (assuming it is to support the "alternate library") as a way of decreasing the exposure of intellectual property. - possibly improve speed of execution under the "alternate library" - reduce load module size Yes, I am aware of the Rexx compiler's COMPRESS option. It has the undesired side effect of increasing run time and CPU time. What would really make me happy is if IBM changed their licensing - unique I believe, certainly atypical - that requires a site to license the Rexx compiler in order to be able to run the compiler's object code.

Why do you want to compress an exec, and what kind of "things" do you then want to do with it? Perhaps you have another choice, such as compiling the exec using the REXX compiler (if you've licensed it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
