ooRexx (Open Object Rexx) Reviews

A Stellar Tool for Modern Scripting - ooRexx Shines Bright!

Rexx in all its forms has been a fantastic language to learn and use.

I started using REXX on VM/SP Release in which it was first included, I believe Rel 3. I immediately loved it and used it for all kinds of projects. When I retired I discovered ooRexx and began running it in Windows. I was able to run some VM/REXX scripts almost unchanged in Windows. At first I thought I would never grasp Object Oriented programming but this 80 year old dog is actually using it a little, I really like being able to use ooRexx to interface with MS Office, especially Excel.

Excellent! OoRexx is reliable, versatile and also very accessible for beginners.

OOrexx on UBUNTU 20.04 The latest OOrexx 4.2.0 package for Ubuntu (ooRexx-4.2.0-1.ubuntu1310.x86_64.deb) fails to install on Ubuntu 20.04. There is a 5.0.0 beta (ooRexx-5.0.0-12066.ubuntu1604.x86_64.deb) on Sourceforge that is now running happily. So far no problems found. Loek Sluijter

Excellent product! Glad to be able to use REXX as I once did on IBM mainframe machines. Plus OOREXX offers so much more.

Rexx, in all its forms, is simply the most usable and flexible language (interpreter) that I have ever used.

ooRexx is a good language for people who have used REXX on other platforms. It brings the same and more functionality to the Windows and Linux platforms we're used to from zVM and zOS.

Oorexx works perfect.

Very good Software.

Nice, thank you

Very Thank you. It works fine. It is a great help for me.

The ooRexx team rocks because they have managed to maintain Object Oriented and Procedure Oriented code styles working neatly for ages. Also, I had a main storage issue where loading a Language Dictionary blew on storage fixed. I upgraded to a Windows 7 64 bit and now I am able to get my whole dictionary loaded into an ooRexx workspace. Their Rexx software really works as documented and then some.

Good and useful software

ooRexx supports both the "classic" style of rexx programming using Procedures, function calls, etc and the newer Object Oriented style with classes, methods, et all... What might not be so obvious is that both styles can be in the SAME program, making it easier to transist to Object Orientation. Overall, this is an excellent, well designed, and well maintained system allow programs to be written for Windows, Linux, MacOS, AIX and a number of other operating systems. Many other functions are also provided such as FTP, TCP/IP Socket Handling, Window Dialogs, expanded Time and Date handling, and an Apache interface. Excellent documentation is available, and it just keeps getting better!!!

Good work, highly recommended

Best available!

Very good project. Try the beta for Windows, its freaking fast.

This is the best utility I have ever used... Congratulations...

Great tool. Like it.

It's fast, reliable and easy to use. I recommend this program strongly!

So useful when you have no administrative rights and when you use several computers !

It really helps me at my work and at home.

Very good program. Thanks a lot.

a very fast speed.
