Frank's sources

Source code

Here you find mostly classic REXX scripts supposed to work with ooREXX under NT - hopefully, they did work under OS/2 REXXSAA, some also under PC DOS REXXSAA and Quercus REXX/Personal. The old OS/2 and DOS sources in the DOS directory finally got their own overview, check it out if you miss files formerly listed here.

General

Experimental BOCU-1 and UTF-4 conversion: bocu.cmd.

Convert UTF-8 in XML or HTML files to NCRs: ncrify.cmd.

Codepage 437 / 850 / 1004 to utf-8.cmd conversion 0.5.

xlat.rex converts UTF-8 / UTF-16 / UTF-32 sources to Latin-1 friendly UTF-4 for legacy applications.

Check that an XML file is well-formed: xmlcheck.rex, can be used for quick XHTML plausibility tests.

ASCII translations for C programmers: ascii.cmd (output demo).

UNIX cmp clone: cmp.cmd.

UNIX tee clone: tee.cmd.

UNIX uniq clone: uniq.cmd (no options, no tricks).

UNIX wc clone: wc.cmd (one of the worst known wcs ;-).

Experimental local TZ to GMT (UTC) date conversion: zulu.cmd.

Convert Windows ico to plain text XPM2 icons: ico2xpm2.cmd, lists some xnview issues.

NT: Partition table explorer checkmbr.rex, can check FAT boot records and show FAT volume layouts.

NT: qtype.rex lists ASSOCiations of file extensions with FTYPEs and corresponding "open" commands. Finds broken FTYPE commands and unassociated FTYPEs.

Mathematical

Misc. MD5 test suite incl. OTP / CRAM / HMAC: md5.cmd 1.6.

Compare the speed of various (42) pi algorithms: pi.cmd, faster Bailey-Borwein-Ploufffe algorithm not yet added.

Compare various sort algorithms: rexxsort.cmd (more info).

Simple Newton interpolation (sequence to polynom): newton.cmd.

Prime numbers (mu, phi, pi, 1st factor): primes.cmd (very slow).

Prime numbers (with persistent results): prime.cmd (better).

Convert numbers from / to base 2 ... 60: baseconv.cmd.

Internet

Update XHTML directory listings: dir2html.cmd 1.1, part of a content management system.

Update old and new sitemap files: sitemap.cmd 0.3, part of a content management system.

Clean up upper case 8+3 file names: dirty.rex, part of a content management system.

Homepage FTP update: ftpsynch.cmd 0.8 (needs RXFTP.DLL), part of a content management system.

Homepage FTP update: ftpsynch.rex 1.0 (needs RxFtp.cls), working with ooRexx RxFtp.

GET raw HTTP/1.0: rxgeturl.cmd 0.7 (needs RXSOCK.DLL), very simple replacement for curl or wget.

Mail submit client (8bitMIME, port 587): rxmailto.cmd 0.1.

Test mailbox address (EHLO - RCPT TO): rxhelo.cmd 0.1.

Simple ident (port 113 auth) client & server: rxident.cmd 0.8.

Doubleclick dummy "server": httpd404.cmd 1.6 ( manual ).

Send local syslog datagrams: rxsyslog.cmd, used in rxident.cmd & rxdyndns.cmd.

Show all IPs and alias names of any given host: rxhost.cmd.

OS/2

Not all tested with ooREXX under NT, for pure OS/2 scripts see the REXX section of the OS/2 directory.

A collection of portable or common procedures: rexxtrap.cmd, incl. test suite (PM, VIO, DOS), see also the REXXTRAP manual.

A portable deltree clone: xdeltree.cmd (DOS, OS/2, Quercus).

Emulate Quercus stackget.exe (input from RxQueue ).

Find files modified recently or in the future: today.cmd.

Sort grep output by number of occurences: ygrep.cmd.

Sort findstr output by number of occurences: ygrep.rex.

UNIX df clone: df.cmd (used / available disk space).

Tee is fine, but how about yoU ? you.cmd.

ooREXX

ooREXX.html is a master index for offline use with the ooREXX 3.2 HTML manual (the relative manual links do not work online).

rxclip.rex allows to copy or paste text to or from the clipboard as REXX command line program, or as external subroutine in another REXX program.

rxqueue.cls contains an improved RexxQueue class and a MakeStem routine for use by other ooREXX programs. Standalone it is an ooREXX "class explorer".
