Visual REXX Faceoff - Part 1

Contents

  • 1 Introduction
  • 2 Installation
  • 3 Look and Feel
  • 4 Wrapping Things Up

This issue sees the first part of the Visual Rexx Faceoff. We start by looking at VX-REXX.

The Watcom VX-REXX package includes two 3.5" HD floppies and a 700+ page manual. The manual is nicely written, but the reference section is slightly hard to use. (Fortunately, one doesn't have to use it!) The first few chapters are instructions on how to do things, the rest of the manual is all reference. There are plenty of sample programs included.

Introduction

This issue sees the second part of the Visual REXX Faceoff. We start by looking at VisPro REXX/Bronze Edition version 2.0 by Hockware and then compare its features to that of VX-REXX. The Bronze Edition is an entry level low cost visual REXX product. It is not a full blown environment like the VisPro REXX Gold Edition or VX-REXX.

VisPro ships on a single floppy disk and comes with a 300+ page manual.

Introduction

This issue sees the third part of the Visual REXX Faceoff. We start by looking at VisPro REXX GOLD edition Version 2.03 by Hockware and then see how it compares to VP BRONZE and VX REXX.

VisPro ships on a single floppy disk and comes with a 400+ page manual. In addition to the base package, the Data Entry Object Pack and the VP SOM toolkit were shipped on two additional floppies. An additional 90 page manual is included for the data entry objects.
