Hi David, Not to throw a spanner in the works, but I've been thinking over the last couple of days about changes to the packaging of ooRexx. SHould we be considering two installation packages on *nix platforms: ooRexx-3.1.0.[rpm|deb|etc...] and ooRexx-devel-3.1.0.[rpm|deb|etc...] ? Most products that provide a development toolkit have a separate "devel" package. This might also solve the problem of including the sample API programs into the packages. If we do want to go this way, we then have to decide if we do it for the 3.1 release (beta 1 would be best), or wait until the 4.0 release. I have to write an AIX readme, now that Rainer and I have sorted out the best way to build ooRexx on AIX. Another thing that I'd like consensus on is including the creation of the symbolic links: /usr/bin/rexx -> /opt/ooRexx/bin/oorexx etc as part of the "make install" target.
