Once upon a time, while working at the "large blue" firm, i came across a
utility that formatted & indexed rexx code for printing, this was very
useful for code hand-overs & walkthroughs

Does anyone know if such a program is available anywhere for downloading?

CODEPRTX, I bet!
Absolutely LOVED that tool! Tried once to get a
working version outside, but as I recall, even when i got it to run, what it
produces as output is SCRIPT, or GML, or something like that... Something I
didn't have any ability to process, anyway.....
Hope you have better luck, Andy!

Script/GML isn't far off of HTML.
There are already conversion tools for that part of the process.

Hi Joe,

I Don't suppose you still have a copy? I have script/vs and a SGML to
HTML conversion procedure

Wish I did... sorry.....If I'd thought about the existence of script-to-HTML
converters, I'd have hung onto it, but......

Owned and operated by Les Koehler, vmr...@tampabay.rr.com. It

printer... you know, the ones that now only exist within IBM...

I've tried to get Les to produce output in something more useful, but
he's a busy guy. If 1500 IBM-MAINers all jumped on him at once,
however, he might reconsider.

Or someone could write a pgm to take the APA stuff and plot it onto a
page, or maybe to produce PostScript or something? [Not me though]

Good suggestion Frank. But this is the TSO-REXX list.

I'm on IBM-Main too.

Give me his e-mail address and I'll gladly start the fun <g>.

I got a call from Les today (after he fielded several inquiries) and
this is what he said:

CODEPRTX is "IBM Internal Use Only" largely because IBM can't locate
the original author(s) to obtain permission for its release. It uses
BookMaster to produce its output, so weird IBM printers seems not to
be the issue. Nevertheless since IBM has not given its imprimatur (L:
it may be printed), the function cannot be released except by accident
by some IBMer accidentally acquiring a copy and then accidentally
letting it fall into the hands of an 'outsider'. Accidentally. I'm
pretty sure it won't be Les who accidentally 'loses' a copy.

Sorry about getting your hopes up.
