[netrexx-pipelines] Migrate OS/2 pipelines to NetRexx Pipes

[<hp...@we...>]

Hello René!

Thank you for your kind offer to give it a try to convert my
little toy to NetRexx Pipelines.

I guess the "main" routine will remain an ooRexx program since I
use ooDialog for the Windows drudgery (or has NetRexx something
better for dialog windows?) So the task is "only" to get rid of
everything OS/2 Pipelines and redo it with something I have no
idea yet.

It is the first time I "tele-collaborate" for programming. So I
have no clue what works best, one is master with the ideas and the
other the typist? Should we work top-down or simplest cases first,
the impossible later? Or do we an endless
question-and-answer-ping-pong?

My first question would be, the "glue" code to get access to
pipelines is now

> call RxFuncAdd 'RxPipe', 'RXPIPE', 'RXPIPE'

Does NetRexx need something similar?

The first pipeline is to varload (or varset) the INI file:

> fn = left(fid, lastpos('.', fid)) || 'ini'
> call RxPipe '< "' || fn || '"!nlocate 1 /*/!varset'

Let's take this as a first try. When it works the rest should also
be doable.

Best,
M.
