Re: [Oorexx-devel] RexxUtil on OS/2

[David A. <da...@us...>]

Rick may correct me but I think the main difference is that the Classic 
version of RexxUtil is coded in straight C and the Object version is coded 
in C++. The reason thay are not compatible is that the Object version uses 
internal method APIs that do not exist in the Classic version.

This is mostly a guess as I have not actually seen the code for the 
Classic version, just what we got from IBM for the Object version, which 
was not complete from an OS/2 perspective.

Maybe mainly for Rick, but if someone else knows feel free to chime in 
first.

Rick, when you developed Object Rexx on OS/2, do you happen to remember 
what
caused for there to be an incompatibility between Classic and Object 
Rexx's
RexxUtil.dll?

The way it exists today, (MCP2 or eCS 1.2, etc...) they have the same 
function
names in each, even the same version string in the DLL's. The size is 
radically
different however. C is 68K and O is 41K.

I find the fact that various people say the DLL's are not compatible with 
the
Rexx they are not intended for rather surprising. Just wondering what
background is known on this as ooRexxOS2 goes forward.

Thanks!
