Re: #VMCE #rexx EE goes XEDIT - compiling a wish list

Some progress report after a lot of legwork:
?
I just have used RESLIB to load a very new EE into high memory and then attempted some stuff which was not possible before. I have used the CMS command of this new EE to run EXECs to compile, link, load and run another new EE in the user area at 020000 - nothing notable did happen, no surprise ... and quit. Returned to the EE still residing in high memory which still alive and kicking.

Do we have a list somewhere of what has been installed from those tapes? I was playing with LISTFILE (DMELST) from the tapes and it seems we have an alternate, which has most all of the features, except the before/after/today options.

I don't know if it will be of any value to your efforts, but I extracted the SEDIT package from the WATERLOO5 tape, and uploaded it into the Files section as a VMARC.? Below is the description of SEDIT.
?
M1113V00SEDIT-- This modification contains the source for SEDIT, a text-editor
that is considerably more powerful than the IBM ?supplied EDIT. ?The main reason
for its power is its "tailor-ability" under CMS. ?You can write EDEXEC's that
are similar to EDIT macros, i.e. the exec can ? issue commands directly to the
editor (no need for stacking) and the exec ?receives return codes from the
command so that conditional command ?execution can be performed. ?Note: the exec
interpreter used is the CP-67 ?exec interpreter with some enhancements to allow
the handling of character ?strings greater than eight character.--Ron Hooper,
CIA, Tel. (703) 351-6078, ?December 6, 1978.

when all of this is settled, and you've got the two systems seeing

I've started the documentation. It will be uploaded to the Files section. It is not complete, but I'd like to know if I'm doing too much/not enough/just right.

Re: Contributing to, Building, and Maintaining VM370CE
#VMCE
Ross, Thanks for raising all these issues with VM/CE. How do you think we should proceed? Do you want to build a ¡°Beta¡±?
Dave ? ? There is at least one fix in BREXX that I'd like to see make it into the next VM/CR release:? implements the SIGNAL ON FAILURE instruction, and corrects an error in SIGNAL ON ERROR that has prevented it from detecting positive non-zero return codes (i.e., 99+% of the error RCs out there).? There are also a few known (to me and Adrian Sutherland, at least) fixes that were shipped in VM/CE 1.2, but never merged into the BREXX source.? As I've said to Adrian, I'm willing to undertake that merge myself.
Yeah, a pre-VM/370-CE-1.2+ beta of BREXX would probably be a good idea.? There's been very little change to it since VM/370 CE 1.2, but anything that might break REXX would be pretty bad for VM/370 CE.

I think it is sufficient for me to be able to adjust issues for now.
