Gil, none of the references I can find to ORXVER indicate where it is available. One post indicates that it was only made available to a few users. Can you send me a copy, or point me to where it can be found?

    how to manage multiple concurrent versions of ooRexx on a single
    machine

I'm running various versions of ooRexx in parallel, by simply calling the appropriate rexx.exe with full path (I've set up doskey macros "rexx4", "rexx5", "rexx5d" etc. for each). Works for rexx installs and simple unzipped rexx directories.

There's generally no need to switch rxapi, as it's sufficiently compatible between 4.2 and the various 5.0 versions. I'm always installing rxapi from the newest version. Above said is true as long you're using only 32-bit or only 64-bit Rexx. Switching between 32- and 64- will involve stopping/uninstalling rxapi and installing the other rxapi, which isn't that convenient.

    Hi Terry,

    See my post earlier on the list about using ORXVER to switch
    between versions on Windows.  5.0.0 Alpha does not yet have a
    windows installer AFAIK.  I downloaded the zip file -
    
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx/5.0.0alpha/oorexx5_win32_r11047_av.zip
    - and manually unzipped it and copied all the files into a
    ...\ooRexx5.0.0 folder.  But I see that there is a 5.0.0 Beta
    version dated 7/10 in the folder now so that would be a better
    target.  Once that is done, ORXVER can switch between whatever
    your current ooRexx version is and 5.0.0.  Let me know if you want
    the tool!

    Hello,

I've finally got some breathing space to do some testing. Thought I'd use VBox, but apparently I can't use my
    laptop-preload as both host & guest :-(  Don't really want to
    spend $200-400 for a full retail copy of windows...

    So now I've found anemail exchange
    
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/comp.lang.rexx/E7rKgcMEdpE>between
    LesK and Mark Miesfeld on how to manage multiple concurrent
    versions of ooRexx on a single machine.  However, the method
    relies on a windows installer.  Looking at the download page, I
    see 5.0.0 beta, but only for ubuntu; 5.0.0 alpha directory does
    have windows zip.  I've downloaded the zip, but don't see any
    internal subdirectories, nor installation hints.

    Should I install the alpha zip to test existing ooDialog releases
    against the new ooRexx?  If so, how do I do this in such a way
    that I can make use of the multiple concurrent technique.  Even
    if the alpha build is stale, I'd like to install it even if just
    to work out the testing procedures.

    Maybe the testing will get me far enough to to start to do some
    actual maintnance :-P

    Hi Jon,

    that is most considerate of you. Yes, I think I have the
    necessary authorizations, and otherwise I will ask for them. It
    would be good if Terry would adopt the package - officially -
    and we could all support him. For me, there no necessity to
    release the packages together, but I understand it would be
    reassuring for some users to release something that is tested
    against 5.00. In the long run, something needs to happen to
    ooDialog so it does not make ooRexx look like something from
    the eighties/nineties. I hope that the work that Mark Miesfeld
    and Oliver Sims did does not go to waste; so we need to focus a
    bit here to do the right thing. In my opinion, that would be:

    - release separate, but tested and as far as possible, at the
    same time
    - work on something new ( that at least introduces a newer look
    and feel, and adds modern widgets)
    - try to merge into something cross-plaform like the linux
    distributions pulled off (X windows/GTK stuff)

    do we know any numbers on usage of ooRexx, ooRexx+GUI,
    ooRexx+Java? Or would that be too depressing?

    best regards,

    René.

    Hi Rene, Terry

    Terry was interested in looking after ooDialog, though at that
    time he did not know what was involved.

    Terry, are you willing to test the decoupled ooDialog against
    5.0? If so, is Rene's timescale realistic?
    It is quite possible that it will not work in which case I
    think we just need to mark it as suitable for 4.x releases
    only (Rick has told me that he does not know what Mark did to
    uncouple it).

    Rene,  I think you have the permissions you need, can you let
    me know.

    I am sending this off the list as it is not my intention to
    shame Terry into doing something that he rather tentatively
    offered and may have thought better of when he saw what was
    needed.

    thanks both,

    Jon

        Hi Jon,

        I can branch for release and do the necessary things on
        SourceForge, and I am sure most of the other active
        programmers can do that also. I think the ooDialog
        package, which was separated from the main ooRexx package,
        could be released independently, but at the same time. As
        it is for one platform only, someone familiar with it
        needs to adopt it - you? I cannot judge if it works or
        not, or know how to run test cases. I am working on
        getting a windows machine (in fact, I have one VM image
        running since yesterday that I need to hook up to Jenkins)
        to do builds and tests of it.

        Do we have an official adoptor?


        best regards,

        René.

        Hi René,

        I'm not sure who amongst the committees has the
        experience with svn to 'do' a release.  Mark did the last
        ones and David before that i think.  Also i don't think
        anyone knows what (if anything) needs to happen with the
        independent ooDialog package.
