I am having a problem getting the AREXX interface in Quarterback Tools 1.5 to work. When I try and run the Demo rexx program included in the Release notes file, I get an error saying "Rexx library not found". Since I have all the Rexx libraruies I could find on CIS loaded into Arexx when I start it, I am wondering if anyone could help me as to what I am missing. Thank you, Blaine

Blaine – I don't know squat about AREXX, but I do have a question and then possibly an answer for ya. Do you have the actual AREXX program? It is a commercial product and you do need to have the program. The utilities and things that are available here on CIS will do you no good unless you have AREXX. C= may or maynot be packaging AREXX with the A3000 (I'm not sure) and they may then package it with any v2.0 Enhancement Package that will be released when v2.0 becomes available. But until that point you will need to buy AREXX before you can use any programs features to use that product. – Roy Pahnke – Casper, Wyomin' – Crazy Mountain Software –

Roy, I do have the AREXX program. It works fine with all the other programs I use it with, spcifically ADPro, but I keep getting the "Rexx Library not found" error when I try and use it with QBTools. Since I have a very old edition of AREXX, I thought that by updating all the Libraries I cpuold find and loading them all before trying to launch QBTools, I would bypass this error, but I still get it. Thanks for the reply! Blaine

Blaine – Ohhhh! As Roseanne Anna Danna (was that her name?) would say "Never Mind." 😉 Sorry – it was just a thought. Hope the folks at NH can help. – Roy Pahnke – Casper, Wyomin' – Crazy Mountain Software –

Blaine, something I ran across is requiring version 1.15 of ARexx in order to get some scripts to work. If you are working with an older version, I highly recommend updating your ARexx. Brian J. Bartlett

Brian, Thanks! I am running version 1.06. I will go out tomorrow and update my copy to 1.15 or better. Blaine

Blaine, You will need to have the Rexxsupport.Library from the release version of AREXX and you will also need to run rexxmast to start AREXX going. If you don't have an A 3000 (which ship with AREXX as part of the package) you will need to acquire the AREXX program from Bill Hawes at Wishful Thinking Software or wait to see how the 2.0 upgrade deal is structured.

Blaine – > I have all the Rexx libraruies I could find on CIS loaded into Arexx > when I start it —————– If true, that IS your problem. Move 'em to LIBS: . . . . . JimDoc

Jim, They are in LIBS:, I load them into memory with the LoadLib and rxlib commands. I think my problem is that I am running an old version of AREXX,( 1.06). I have been advised that I need 1.15 or better to run certain scripts. I tried to go out and get it today, but my local Amiga dealer(and he's not so local, I have to drive about 40 miles to get to him) was sold out. Oh well, I will wait to next week or take the trip into Philly or NYC to get it. Thanks for the reply! Blaine
