bREXX Release 1.1.0 now available

 

bREXX Release 1.1.0 for CMS on VM/370 is now available at?.? There are no new known bugs and no changes to code since the last beta.? There were some changes to HELP files and documentation.

As noted before, there have been a lot of hands in making bREXX what it is today, mine are merely the most recent.

The installation instructions are in the README.md file, and should come as no surprise to folks who've installed bREXX before, or who've suffered through my thousand-line beta emails :-)

Ross,
Thanks for that. Does this need any fixes to the GCC libraries?

Nope :-) ?It needs the GCC 1.0.1 library, same as bTEXX 1.0.1 did.? That's already present on VM/CE 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.? And if you take the "replace the GCCBRX DASD" installation path, it's on that volume too.

Thank you very much for your work on these challenges. Now if I can squeeze some time from somewhere to install and test.

Pick me to be the confused person here. Including the fact I've put this in a director named for Dave and not Ross. Sorry.
I am running VM/370 CE V 1 R 1.2. Your directions for the DASD replacement start with:
?
1. Download the pre-built release `BREXX.zip` file from the location above to the machine where you run Hercules.
1. Unzip `BREXX.zip`.
1. Copy the `gccbrx.cckd` file to the folder where you keep your emulated DASD files.1. Copy the `gccbrx.cckd` file to the folder where you keep your emulated DASD files.
1. Log on to `MAINT` on VM.
1. Upload the `maintc.direct` file to VM, add it to your `USER DIRECT` file, and install the updated directory (but see the VM/CE and SixPack note above).
1. Upload the `newbrexx.exec` file to `MAINT` on VM (typically to the `MAINT 5E5` disk) as `NEWBREXX EXEC`.

When I unzipped? REXX.ZIP from your site, I get the following files, and I do not see: maintc.direct nor do I see newbrexx.exec
?
[xmas@vm370dev Wade,_Dave]$ unzip BREXX.zip?

Bug #1. I wrote those instructions in Markdown, because my brain was stuck in the mode of improving the .? So every step is number 1. :-( I'll fix that.

Bug #2.? I'll check the build process.? Those files should be in the package.? For what it's worth, I tested all these procedures as I was writing them, but I did it with a pre-release package that wasn't built on GitHub.? That's a mistake I won't make again.
