Open Source Rexx Software

Home of the Open Object Rexx Project. ooRexx is the open source version of IBM's Object REXX Interpreter. It is upwardly compatible with classic REXX and will execute classic REXX programs unchanged. The project is managed by the Rexx Language Association.

An implementation of the the ANSI Standard REXX Programming Language, available for most operating systems.

The Hessling Editor (THE) is a cross-platform text editor. Based on the IBM mainframe editor XEDIT, and includes many features of Kedit. All of THE is configurable, including syntax highlighting. THE uses Rexx as its macro language.

Rexx/SQL is a Rexx external function package that allows access to various SQL databases with the same interface. Multiple databases from different vendors may be connected at once.

Rexx/CURL is a Rexx extension to enable Rexx programmers to control the cURL interface.

Here you'll find several Open Source Software ported/compiled for AmigaOS (and compatible systems). This project was created with the aim to give support to the ppl who don't have the time/compiler to do it for itself since most stuff compiles OOTB

A powerful bi-directional ooRexx-Java bridge. BSF4ooRexx850 (bean scripting framework for ooRexx) supports ooRexx 5.0 or newer and Java 8 or newer, exploiting fully ooRexx (e.g. allowing Java methods to be implemented as ooRexx methods, supporting callbacks from Java to ooRexx), and Java. Camouflages Java as the dynamically typed, caseless and easy to use ooRexx: one can simply interact with any Java object and any Java class using ooRexx messages!

NokiX is a tool used to modify firmwares of the Nokia DCT3 phone series. To do that it uses external scripts written in Rexx language. NokiX isn't actively developed by the author anymore, the project homepage is for archival purposes only.

TRS is a web-based system to facilitate the response to an incident by members of Rural and Auxiliary Fire Brigades and SES across Queensland. For Brigade Officers it allows them to quickly determine who will be responding to an incident so Firecom can be notified of a Brigade's response, and also provides the Officer a list at a glance of who is responding and when. For responders it provides a simple and safe mechanism for indicating their response without having to phone or SMS a Brigade Officer.

Rexx/EEC is a Rexx external function package providing support for the Encryption, Encoding and Compression of data. Equivalent functions exist for Decryption, Decoding and Decompression.

Rexx/gd is a Rexx interface to the gd graphics library. This interface allows a Rexx programmer to create and manipulate graphics images.

YAM (short for Yet Another Mailer) is a commonly used MIME-compliant Internet mailer written for AmigaOS computers. It supports POP3, SMTP, TLSv1/SSLv3, multiple users, PGP, hierarchical folders, filters, a configurable GUI, an ARexx interface and more...

Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns, expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you can perform some certain actions on them.

RxSock is an external function package for Rexx programmers to enable them to connect to, and act as, TCP/IP socket servers.

Rexx/CSV is a Rexx external function package that makes reading and writing to CSV (comma separated values) files easier.

This is a modified version of the CRC algorithms by Lammert Bies. It supports more algorithms and has been ported to several languages. It's also useful for learning how to do hexadecimal calculations and bitwise operations in various programming languages. Disclaimer: These test programs demonstrate the calculation of CRC. I made these translation with a basic knowledge of each language. They may or may not be appropriately formatted / secured / robustified / idiot proofed or any similar programming issues.

Wrapper library for adding MySQL support into the REXX language. Libraries are written in C and then imported into REXX scripts. Once imported REXX scripts can access most of the functions of the MySQL C API through REXX.

Rexx/Trans provides an abstract level between a Rexx-enabled application and a Rexx interpreter. This allows an application to be written using the SAA Rexx API and linked with Rexx/Trans. At runtime, Rexx/Trans finds an appropriate Rexx interpreter fo

PLEASE NOTE: this package is meant to work with the Rexx SAA interface (e.g. with Regina) and non-modular Java (up to and including Java 8LTS). Project continued as a much more powerful and up-to-date version for ooRexx, available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/ PURPOSE: Bean Scripting Framework Rexx Engine (bsf4rexx) allows Java programs to call Rexx programs, and for Rexx programs to create and manipulate Java objects. The package will allow to script OpenOffice.org: "File" menu https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4rexx/files/ or if still available at http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/

Rexx/Curses is an interface to the curses library. With this external function package, Rexx programmers can write cross-platform applications with a consistent textual user interface.

Rexx/ISAM is a Rexx external function package providing a consistent interface between differing ISAM file managers.

Rexx/Tk is a Rexx external function package providing an interface to the Tk library. This allows Rexx programmers write portable, cross-platform GUI applications.

NetRexx is a dialect of the REXX programming language to run on the Java virtual machine. It supports a classic REXX syntax, with no reserved keywords, along with considerable additions to support object-oriented programming in a manner compatible with Java's object model, yet can be used as both a compiled and an interpreted language, with an option of using only data types native to the JVM or the NetRexx runtime package. Originally from IBM, NetRexx is the creation of Mike Cowlishaw, the 'Father of Rexx'. This IBM product has been open sourced in 2011.

AWSLIST - full-screen AWS tape browser. Browse tape files, directories and members of IEBCOPY or IEHMOVE unloaded data sets, enhanced browse of the printable data sets. AWSLOAD - extracts data from AWS tape. Entire files can be extracted as well as IEBCOPY/IEHMOVE unloaded members. AWSDUMP - write data to AWS tape. Both standard labelled and unlabelled tapes supported, existing tape may be appended. AWSINIT - initialize AWS tape. The same as z/OS IEHINITT does. AWSMAP - shortcut for AWSLIST -batch. Write AWS tape map and exits. UNCOPY - extracts members from IEBCOPY unloaded file UNMOVE - extracts members from IEHMOVE unloaded file UNISAM - extracts data from IEBISAM unloaded file XMITLIST - full-screen XMIT (TRANSMIT, IDTF) browser. A functional equivalent of well-known XMITMGR. UNXMIT - extracts data from XMIT file AWS2OMA - convert AWS tape to OMA/2 CD/DVD OMA2AWS - convert OMA/2 CD/DVD to AWS tape DDR2AWS -convert DDR dump file to AWS tape file

GCI is the Generic Call Interface for REXX interpreters. GCI allows REXX programmers access to all shared libraries (aka DLLs) where there are no REXX-specific wrappers.
