Hi there,
just learned, that I forgot to upload the experimental GUI-installers
for Windows from two students, which you can now find at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/experimental/. There
is also a silent installation mode with the switch /S (please note the
capital 'S'!).
There are separate Windows installers for the bitness of your ooRexx
installation.
Again, the experimental folder has experimental software. Future
versions may extend the functionality and fix bugs, should any be found
in these versions.

Greetings!
BSF4ooRexx is an external Rexx function package which allows ooRexx to
use Java as a huge external function library. It can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/
where the Sourceforge infrastructure is used to develop, maintain, and
support BSF4ooRexx as an Open Source Project.
The current project team consists of the following members (in
alphabetical order):
* Davis, Chip (former RexxLA president and member of Rexx ANSI
Standard committee)
* Dujis, Erik (BSF4ooRexx guru)
* Faucher, Jean-Louis (Rexx and ooRexx developer and BSF4ooRexx guru)
* Flatscher, Rony (original author of BSF4ooRexx, emeritus ooRexx
developer)
* Hessling, Mark (Regina maintainer, author of numerous helpful
external Rexx function packages like Rexx/SQL)
* Jansen, René (RexxLA president)
* Skelly, Bruce (ooRexx developer for MacOSX)
* Turner, Bill (Rexx expert programmer)
The BSF4ooRexx Project is managed by the non-profit Rexx Language
Association http://www.RexxLA.org as a companion effort to their Open
Object Rexx Project, cf. http://www.ooRexx.org. As such, the
BSF4ooRexx Project is managed in a true Open Source manner, while
adhering strictly to the Rexx Philosophy as established by the creator
of Rexx, Michael F. Cowlishaw, in his book The Rexx Language (TRL).

In order for the BSF4ooRexx source code to build successfully with the
Sourceforge structure, some minor changes and enhancements had to be
made. For example, if LibreOffice (http://www.LibreOffice.org) or
OpenOffice.org (http://www.OpenOffice.org) is installed, then the
appropriate ooRexx support for that package is included. (Please note:
the 32/64-bitness of ooRexx, the installed Java and the installed
LibreOffice/OpenOffice must match!)
Also, there are experimental versions of GUI-based installers for
Windows and MacOSX (which includes ooRexx 4.1.1 for MacOSX). Linux
installers are slated to appear soon. These experimental installers are
not supported (i.e. no bugs can be opened against them) but offered
as-is for the adventurous.
Therefore there will be a short beta-test period for the first
Sourceforge version of BSF4ooRexx, which can be download from the
following site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files
If you have questions or find problems, then please use the Sourceforge
BSF4ooRexx mailing lists and/or trackers (for bugs, request for
enhancements, etc.).
The beta-test will last for two weeks from the date of this
announcement. If no show-stoppers are found, BSF4ooRexx will be released
officially.
Currently, there are no bugs known to exist in BSF4ooRexx.
Please forward this e-mail to any friend or interested party who might
benefit from learning and exploiting this particular technology.
Regards,
