Hi there,

this is to announce a new "BETA 2" for "BSF4ooRexx", which allows one to
use all of the Java functionality from Rexx.

It can be found here: <http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4oorexx/current/>.

This version fixes a few reported glitches and fixes an installation bug
for the OpenOffice.org support (one can use Rexx as a macro language for
OpenOffice!).

In addition the OOo-support now takes full support of some of the new
ooRexx 4.0 features under the covers, making the invocation of Rexx
macros "blazingly" fast (practically instantaneous), if a Rexx macro had
been executed already. The support for OpenOffice is available for all
platforms BSF4ooRexx is available on, i.e. Linux and Windows right out
of the installation package (32- and 64-bit).

To get the OOo-support, you just need to download and install the free
OpenOffice (http://www.openOffice.org), then switch to the "bsf4oorexx"
directory entering "rexx setupOOo.rex" and then run the created
"installOOo.cmd" (Windows) or "installOOo.sh" (Linux). To learn more
about how to program OpenOffice, look for the respecitve papers of
students at <http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/>.

If there are any questions, or if there are any glitches, bugs that you
find, please post them on the newsgroup <news:comp.lang.rexx>!
