Open Source Rexx Software

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 as well as IEBCOPY/IEHMOVE unloaded members. AWSDUMP - write data to AWS tape. Both SL and NL tapes supported, existing tape may be appended. AWSINIT - initialize AWS tape. The same as z/OS IEHINITT does. AWSMAP - shortcut for AWSLIST -batch: write 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 UNXMIT - extracts data from XMIT file AWS2OMA - convert AWS to OMA/2 CD/DVD OMA2AWS - convert OMA/2 CD/DVD to AWS DDR2AWS -convert DDR dump file to AWS TAP2AWS - convert TAP image to AWS E112AWS -convert E11 image to AWS SETRECSZ - recover record boundaries for V[B[S] & ADRDSSU dump

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.

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.

An lightweight open source implementation of the Rexx programming language.

HD DRiVE-iNFO displays hdd data in simple output at Windows command line / shell (4NT and TCC), which is required for running. Some customization options and plain output for easy/fast reading of your system status. It also displays number of advanced info for those that need/require it. Main features: Displays local hdd's, networked drives, cd/dvd/bluray's, usb connected devices. Also displays additional info from all these different storage devices (dvd layers, network write access, usb device detection, etc)

Mod_Rexx is an Apache loadable module which interfaces to Rexx. All phases of an Apache request can be processed with Mod_Rexx. It supports Open Object Rexx and Regina Rexx.

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.

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/

This is a self-contained, multiplatform (Java written) application that analyzes and documents Rexx and ooRexx programs. The generated documentation is hyperlinked HTML and prints nicely (check printing background in your browser). If using ooRexxDoc-comments (like JavaDoc @-tags) the automatic generated documentation can be enhanced considerably to become fully stand-alone.

An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) class for Object Rexx. Offers an easy-to-use interface for the IRC protocol to write applications accessing IRC servers.

PMFortune is a BSD fortune cookie viewer for OS/2 Presentation Manager. It can also display user created cookie / tips&tricks databases.

Wrapper to run Regina Rexx as a Windows service. Should also support other Rexx versions, especially ooRexx.

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.

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

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...

The bfi-toolkit is a set of scripts that converts Cobol Copybooks to XML. Uses sed and awk. Conversion allows for transformation of the XML produced, to create useful bits of code using XSLT (Cobol programs, copybook, DB tables etc.)

A GUI debugger for ooRexx programs that can be run on Windows with ooRexx 4.2 or later and on other platforms with ooRexx 5.0 or later where Java with Swing/AWT has been installed along with bsf4oorexx. Please see the README.md file in the Code tab or latest release for much more detailed usage and setup information .
