As many of you are aware, several years ago IBM gave the source code of Object
REXX to the Rexx Language Association to maintain and enhance the language as an
Open Source Project http://www.oorexx.org with a CPL 1.0 license. It currently
runs on:
* 32-bit Windows platforms; Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista including server
products
* 32-bit Linux distributions including RedHat, Fedora, Debian
* x86 and Sparc Solaris in 32-bit mode on 64-bit processors
* AIX 5.x in 32-bit mode
* x86 and PPC MacOS X
* z/Linux
A recent inquiry to the ooRexx developers elicited this response from David
Ashley, the ooRexx Project Manager:
"Unfortunately, we lost our access to the zLinux system we used to build the
4.0.0 version of ooRexx. If you know of someone who can grant us access to
a zLinux partition somewhere, we would be glad to build a version of 4.0.1
for zLinux. Note that we need root access to the partition so we can
install the RPM for testing."
Would anyone with the necessary resources be interested in helping out? If so,
please contact David Ashley <[email protected]>.
Thanks,
