OK, I'm going to guess that you 1) had 4.1.1 installed, 2) copied it
using the program, 3) installed 4.2.0, and 4) created the ooRexx5.0.0
folder and copied the files into it. All good so far! But if you then
used the program to copy 4.2.0, you would find yourself where you are.
In order to switch, the program needs to rename the folders but it can't
change ooRexx to ooRexx4.2.0 since the copy created a folder by that
name. If you delete that folder and its contents, you should be able to
use the program to either switch to 4.1.1 or to 5.0.0.
If I guessed wrong, let me know and I'll try to help you out with
another suggestion.
The reason you can't copy 4.2.0 to get to 5.0.0 is because there is no
5.0.0 installer which would have uninstalled 4.2.0 before installing
5.0.0. Don't feel bad about falling into this hole, the process is
confusing which is why I wrote the program to start with.

Ah well, trust me to fall into a hole right at the start...
I built a shortcut for orxver.cmd, but I must have something wrong as
double clicking the shortcut opens orxver in notepad. If I open a
command window and enter orxver it bring up the dialog.
I successfully switched from 4.1.1 to 4.2.0. But now... the orxver
dialog comes up with 'No action possible', 'A copy of the current
version (4.2.0) already exists', 'Install a version of ooRexx other
than 4.1.1 4.2.0 5.0.0' and 'For more information, click Display
Program Documentation'
I'd like to switch to 5.00, what do I do?

Put the file anywhere you'd put a Rexx script - don't be confused by
the .cmd extension as it is both a Windows script AND a Rexx script
in the same file - and then create a shortcut to run it on your
desktop. The documentation is also contained in the same file and
will be "extracted" to a .html file in the same directory the first
time it is requested.
Jon and Les have helped me test and improve it but this is the first
"public" unveiling so any and all comments will be appreciated.
Re. my earlier post: I see that the 5.0.0 Beta folder currently only
contains Ubuntu builds so the Alpha folder looks like the most
current Windows version. I downloaded the
oorexx5_win32_r11047_av.zip file, unzipped it and copied the files to
%rexx_home%5.0.0 since it does not contain an installer.
Please post any questions on this forum and, if anyone has another
source for newer Windows builds, let us know. Thanks!

how to manage multiple concurrent versions of ooRexx on a

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

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,

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.

I'm not sure who amongst the committees has the
experience with svn to 'do' a release. Mark did the

I would still like to assist with the following
