RexxOpt - ARexx script optimizer
Freeware © 1993-95 by Proxity Softworks
RexxOpt optimizes your ARexx scripts by removing all information not
necessary. This results in a faster execution speed, making working with
ARexx much more comfortable.
When run in default mode (no switch given in command line) the following is
done:
- all unnecessary blank characters (ASCII 9, 32 and 160) are removed
- all comments are removed
- consecutive strings are merge to one single string
- ; is inserted in front of any DO within the script
- all blank characters outside strings and comments are replaced by
<space> (ASCII 32)
- all (remaining) lines are put into one single line
- a new comment line is put in front of the script because ARexx requires
a script to begin with a comment.
This is V1.7, an update to V1.6.
Changes:
- New switch DEOPT: (re)insert linefeeds
- Minor code optimization concerning nested comments
- New switch FIRSTCOMMENT: Don't strip first comment
- Filehandling rewritten: it is no longer necessary to provide a
destination filename. This introduced some new error messages and
made some of the old obsolete.
- Titlecomment and filecomment are now set according to current mode
(optimize/deoptimize).
