Rexecute will compile Arexx scripts into executables. The new executables still require RexxMast to be running and thus no speed increases can be expected. No other files are required in order run Rexecute executables and thus distribution is easy. Users of your executables do not require Rexecute and most importantly cannot access your original source script.

However this is not all there is to Rexecute. The main advantage is the use of link libraries for commonly used routines that can be brought into your program with the use of the pre compiler directive ‘#extern’.

If you use the Arexx version of such libraries as the ARP.library, you will find it easier to write external functions for the checking and loading of such libraries and also the more frequently used library functions.

Making heavy use of this feature alone should reduce development time considerably.

You no longer have to add trace or interrupt options to your source code as these can be added at compile time, (And just as easily removed by re-compiling with trace and interrupt options disabled, which is actually quicker than the removal of statements from your source code using a text editor).

You can produce scripts instead of executables, Rexecute will insert into the script ALL that would have gone into an executable, including declared external procedures or functions, with trace and interrupt options added, plus the stripping of All comments from the source file, which can reduce the size of the file considerably.

If you program using C or assembler, you can add your compiled script to a program and execute it as an Arexx command string.
