ARexx Problem…

Bill –
I am sooooo confused! I received ARexx v1.10 in the mail today and, of
course I immediately loaded it into my system. Everything seems OK except
when I run SLFTEST.REXX. I get the following error:
+++ Error 14 in line 11: Requested library not found
This is apparently in response to the line 'addr = allocmem(4000)'. I am
having no luck figuring out what is wrong. I checked all the libraries and
everything appears to be fine. For example I perform the LOADLIB
libs:rexxsupport.library in my startup sequence. I don't fully understand
the library functions LOADLIB and RXLIB, but both are in my
Startup-Sequence file along with REXXMAST.
Got any clues? I'm bummed because I can't figure it out.

Nelson,
The most common cause of a "requested library not found" message is an
error in spelling the library name (including the correct alphabetic case.)
If you issue an rxlib command, it will show you the libraries ARexx expects
to search, and these should be in your libs: directory.
The LOADLIB command is not needed for libraries in libs:, but is useful for
loading libraries from other directories.

I finally got everything to work. Seems the rxlib command to 'mount' the
rexxmathlib.library was not in my Startup-Sequence. Once in, and once I
rebooted the system, the SLFTEST.rexx program ran. It helps to RTFM! (Not
the reference manual, rather the UPDATE and CHANGES documents on the 1.10
diskette.
My only comment about the complaint is that I get the feeling that ARexx,
coyly knew which library was missing but didn't (couldn't?) tell me. I'm
really an ARexx bonehead right now.
Thanks again.

What is the latest version of Arexx, I have 1.10 and was wondering if
I'm behind?

Bruno,
ARexx V1.10 is still my current release. There's a slightly different
version that Commodore is shipping with Amiga 3000s under a licensing
agreement.
I expect to send out an update to current ARexx customers later on this
year, so if you've registered your copy you'll receive a notice (or
auto-update) at that time.
