BSF4ooRexx - Installation Directions for Windows                4 Dec 2010
================================================

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.
    Usually the JRE gets installed with your web browser to allow for running
    Java applets from the Internet.
    Sometimes it is possible to run Java from the commandline. To check, open
    a command line window and enter: "java -version"

[2] ooRexx 4.0.1 or higher, cf. <http://www.oorexx.org/download.html>

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

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

    Choose the menu "Start -> All Programs -> BSF4ooRexx ->  Installation -> uninstall"

    [If you have an old installation of BSF4ooRexx (installed before July 2010) then
     run the     scripts created in the old installation folder in the following
     sequence:

        Windows                 Comment
        -------                 -------
        uninstallOOo.cmd        run, if the OOo support was installed

        uninstallBSF.cmd        uninstalls the old BSF4[oo]Rexx support]


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


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

Step [2] Open the folder "bsf4oorexx\installation\windows"

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

That's it.

Have fun!
