Hello Rony!

Sorry for my delayed response, but a PC not touched several month
takes its time to be up to date again.

I'd like to get VilMA converted to use NetRexx Pipelines first as
agreed with René. When this works I'll take it to the pre-5.0
ooRexx PC. I prefer to take one step after the other and to avoid
as much interferences as possible.

Is there an indicator if the installed java is too old?

I have on my "test-NetRexx-Pipelines-with-BSF4ooRexx-Support"-PC
now installed ooRexx 5.0, which installed also ooDialog 4.2.4
(preview), unasked. No problem since it's a test machine only.

I assume, the how-to is described somewhere.

How to use BSF4ooRexx to make stage varload set vars in ooRexx --
later please, not now, I'm too tired.
