Installing VisualNetRexx
Unzip vnr.zip into a directory, e.g. c:\vnr
This directory should contain the files:
vnr.jar (The code)
localsrv.prp (Your settings file)
readme.txt (This file!)
problems.txt (Known problems)
vnr.bat (Batch file for windows)
vnr.cmd (Batch file for OS/2)
vnrwps.cmd (Batch file for OS/2)
Test.nrx (Test file)
If not, please contact me.
Running VisualNetRexx
-
Go to a command prompt (MS-DOS Window, Command Prompt, or OS/2 Command
Prompt).
-
Change to the directory you installed VisualNetRexx in, e.g.:
c:
cd \vnr
Run the appropriate batch file:
vnr.bat (for Windows 95 and NT)
vnr.cmd (for OS/2)
This should start VisualNetRexx with a simple screen with 3 buttons visible,
and a Test project up and running.
