I sent the announcement below to announce@cs.ucdavis.edu two weeks ago and haven't received a rejection nor have I seen it in comp.sys.amiga.announce. Could you check this, please? Thanks, Uli * Forwarded from newsgroup "a Mail" * Originally from: Ulrich Sibiller () * Original date: Wednesday 11-Jan-95 17:41:48 submit TITLE RexxOpt - ARexx script optimizer VERSION 1.7 (09.01.95) PROXITY SOFTWORKS A cooperation of Amiga developers. Their intention is to release high quality software under one label. Members are: Boris Folgmann, Ulrich Sibiller and Christian Hechelmann. PETS Proxity Engineering and Technical Support Usenet: pets@amiuni.tynet.sub.org Fidonet: 2:246/1416.0 (pets) AUTHOR Ulrich Sibiller Address: Finkenweg 4 71540 Murrhardt Germany Usenet: uli@pizza.tynet.sub.org Internet: sibilluh@trick.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de Fidonet: 2:246/1416.38 (Ulrich Sibiller IRC: Proxity Phone: ++49-(0)7192-8908 V.32bis 14.4 or HST 14.4 with ASL/V.42bis DESCRIPTION RexxOpt optimizes your ARexx scripts by removing all information not necessary. This results in a faster execution speed, making working with ARexx much more comfortable. When run in default mode (no switch given in command line) the following is done: - all unnecessary blank characters (ASCII 9, 32 and 160) are removed - all comments are removed - consecutive strings are merged to one single string - ';' is inserted in front of any DO within the script - all blank characters outside strings and comments are replaced by (ASCII 32) - all (remaining) lines are put into one single line - a new comment line is put in front of the script because ARexx requires ARexx scripts to begin with a comment. This is V1.7, an update to V1.6. NEW FEATURES - New switch DEOPT: (re)insert linefeeds - Minor code optimization concerning nested comments - New switch FIRSTCOMMENT: Don't strip first comment - Filehandling rewritten: it is no longer necessary to provide a destination filename. This introduced some new error messages and made some of the old obsolete. - Titlecomment and filecomment are now set according to current mode (optimize/deoptimize). SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS You need AmigaOS 2.0 or better to run RexxOpt. Additionally it would be a good idea to have ARexx installed on your system since it makes not much sense to optimize ARexx scripts when you can't use them.
