NetRexx Samples and Examples

NetRexx may be used for writing

• applications -- programs that run 'stand-alone' on a computer, typically started by clicking on an icon or typing in a command
• applets -- programs that run in a World Wide Web browser or the Java toolkit's "applet viewer".

On this page you'll find links to some sample applications and applets. All the applets except 'Scribble' will run under Java 1.0 or later; some of the applications need Java 1.1.
