Well, Mr. Steven "Typo" Levine, I grepped and pmsearched all over the
place looking for CREXX.INF to no avail.

Finally found OREXX.INF (in \OS2\BOOK\). Next time, raise those eyelids
a tad so the "C" doesn't look like an "O" and the proper key gets
pressed, eh?

Mr. Quackles says you did it on _purpose_ just to harass me.

Now then, I want my Classic Rexx programs to use the Object Rexx
function calls (such as "SysBootDrive()"):

-- 1. Do I need to update my .INF and .DLLs? Here's what I have:

[G:\OS2\BOOK]dir *rex*
8-12-96 1:35a 790930 0 OREXX.INF
6-14-96 10:45a 203855 0 REXX.INF

[G:\OS2\DLL]dir *rex*
8-09-96 12:25a 156291 49 NAMEREXX.DLL
11-20-98 3:58p 33725 0 OREXUTIL.DLL
11-20-98 3:58p 489013 0 OREXX.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 43858 0 OREXXSC.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 76878 0 OREXXSOM.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 4002 0 OREXXWPS.DLL
6-14-96 10:45a 49189 0 PMREXXIO.DLL
12-16-97 1:09p 266047 0 REXX.DLL
7-23-98 3:54p 29603 0 REXXAPI.DLL
3-31-97 5:35p 61195 0 REXXCRT.DLL
8-01-96 1:53p 8360 0 REXXINIT.DLL
11-20-98 3:58p 49229 0 REXXUTIL.DLL

-- 2. When I do a SysLoadFuncs() should I use "OREXUTIL.DLL" instead of
"REXXUTIL.DLL"? I currently do this:

rc = rxFuncAdd( "SysLoadFuncs", "RexxUtil", "SysLoadFuncs" )
...
rc = SysLoadFuncs()

I *presume* I'm supposed to use "ORexUtil" instead of "RexxUtil" when I
call rxFuncAdd() because the DLLs are named REXXUTIL.DLL and
OREXUTIL.DLL. Yes?

-- 3. Since ORexUtil.dll is smaller than RexxUtil.dll, I'm wondering --
am I supposed to rxFuncAdd() them *both*? Is there any reason I should
continue to use RexxUtil? Is there any functionality in RexxUtil that
isn't in ORexx? Does ORexUtil.dll load RexxUtil.dll by itself without
me explicity doing so?

Now, if I just swap the "C" and "O" key caps . . .

- Confused In Rexx Land
