BSF4ooRexx - Installation Directions for MacOSX                 20 Mar 2011
===============================================

BSF4ooRexx adds support to the ooRexx scripting language to camouflage
Java objects as Rexx objects.

It lets ooRexx programmers take full advantage of Java objects, but with
the simplicity of ooRexx (e.g., no typing or casting necessary, sending
ooRexx messages to Java objects)!

All such ooRexx programs work on all operating systems supporting ooRexx!


Prerequisites
=============

[1] Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 or higher installed on your computer.

[2] Version 4.1.0 of ooRexx.

[3] optional: OpenOffice.org from <http://download.openoffice.org/index.html>.

[4] Uninstall any previously installed version of BSF4[oo]Rexx, if any.



Installation
============

Step [1] Download the archive "BSF4ooRexx_install.zip" and unzip it

Step [2] Open the folder "bsf4oorexx/installation/macosx"

Step [3] Double-click on or execute the program "install.sh"

That's it.

Have fun!

P.S.: Support is given either via the newsgroup <news:comp.lang.rexx> or the
      private e-mail list of the non-profit Rexx Language Association
      <http://www.rexxla.org> where you meet a good many helping experts!


P.P.S.: Restrictions on MacOSX:

        - Run awt/swing-applications with "rexxj.sh" only.

        - Using the executable "rexx" will load and start Java in "headless" mode,
          which means that no awt event dispatch thread can be created. This is
          due to some pecularities of MacOSX. (This restriction may be lifted in
          the future, when "rexx" will create a "CFRunLoop".)
