| ## Downloading and using the NetRexx packages Version 2.02, for Java 1.1 and Java 2 [22 May 2001] For detailed installation instructions, please see the NetRexx User's Guide. The NetRexx packages are available in zip format. You can use one of the many zip utilities available to unpack the zip files, or you can use the Java jar command. The packages available are: NetRexx: the NetRexx development kit. This includes HTML documentation, and the NetRexx translator (the NetRexx compiler and interpreter). The translator should work on all platforms that can run the Java 1.1.2 (or later) toolkit and compiler. To use the interpreter features you will need Java 1.2 (Java 2). NetRexxD: Documentation in PDF form, for viewing and printing using Adobe's Acrobat Reader. This package includes the NetRexx User's Guide, the Language Overview, the Language Definition, and the Language Supplement. (These are also on the NetRexx website individually.) The NetRexx documentation and software are distributed free of charge under the conditions of the IBM Employee-Written Software program. If you download or use a NetRexx package you agree to the terms in the IBM License Agreement for Employee-Written Software. Please read it before downloading.

#### NetRexx package – Toolkit and compiler This includes the NetRexx 2.02 compiler and interpreter classes, samples, and online documentation (these pages, and the User's Guide and Language Overview). Download the package here [NetRexx.zip, 853kB, 22 May 2001]. Unpack the file you downloaded (a new directory called `NetRexx` should be created by this).

Once unpacked into a directory, you can view the NetRexx documentation locally by pointing your Web browser at the 'root' documentation file `NetRexx\browse\netrexx.html`. To use the NetRexx translator you'll need to install the `NetRexxC.jar` file from the `lib` directory.
