Short: Improves the speed of ARexx scripts Author: 42@studbox.uni-stuttgart.de Uploader: sibilluh tick informatik uni-stuttgart de Type: util/rexx Architecture: m68k-amigaos RexxOpt - ARexx script optimizer Mailware © 1993-96 by Proxity Softworks RexxOpt optimizes your ARexx scripts by removing all information not necessary. This results in a faster execution speed, making working with ARexx much more comfortable. When run in default mode (no switch given in command line) the following is done: - all unnecessary blank characters (ASCII 9, 32 and 160) are removed - all comments are removed - consecutive strings are merge to one single string - ; is inserted in front of any DO within the script - all blank characters outside strings and comments are replaced by (ASCII 32) - all (remaining) lines are put into one single line - a new comment line is put in front of the script because ARexx requires a script to begin with a comment. This is V1.8, an update to V1.7. - Source file is now closed as soon as its contents are completely read into memory. It's now possible to overwrite the source file with the optimized version without leaving a backup of the original. - Documention uses external file for PROXITY SOFTWORKS Information again. - RexxOpt is now Mailware. This means you have to send me an EMail or a postcard if you use RexxOpt regularly.
