Definitely a big improvement. There is still the problem that Publican doesn't produce a decent index section. You can't go to the F's without scrolling through all the pages starting at "%" -- Mark Miesfeld On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM, David Ashley wrote: > All - > > I fixed the syntax

All - I fixed the syntax errors that prevented rexxref from building last night. I then put the latest build of rexxref up on the Build machine. I also made a quick scan of the whole document this morning. With the switch to publican our docs now look really professional. And the content is not b

Any chance of somewhow providing a reference to Chapter 2 of the Rexx Programmer Guide? This is a good "starter" for any newbie, and saves them having to fossick around to find the right documentation. For example, I think this is the only place that mentions that the file extension of an ooRexx pr

If you are referring to 'umask u-x,g=x,o+w', this removes execute permission for the owner ('user'), adds write permission for 'others' and sets the group permissions to be only the execute permission, removing any others. IOW, the executable bit is set for the group and all other group permis

The readme in question was the one for Windows, not the general requirements. The only hardware we support it on currently is Intel x86, so I'm just trying to get that wording sorted out. I don't think anybody's attempted to build it yet for the Surface RT, but I'm not even sure you could insta

Also, it is fairly arbitrary, because it currently builds on ARM, z, PPC, X-86-32, X86-64, etc. That RexxLA only chooses to support it on Windows and Linux is also fairly arbitrary, but doubtlessly a given qua resource availability, although I distinctly remember the efforts to support AIX-PPC

When reviewing Patch file 189 (let's see if this creates a real link for the mailing list.[patches:#189]), I noticed we give the hardware requirements as: IBM-compatible, Pentium or AMD processor, or higher. Both 32-bit and 64-bit processors are supported. It's been a long time since I've hea
