NetRexx packages are available in both zip and tar+compress format. The packages available are:

1. NetRexx: Toolkit and online documentation:
   • documentation and samples, in HTML and other forms
   • the NetRexx class files; these are the Rexx class files that carry out decimal arithmetic, etc.; they should work on all Java 1.1 (or later) platforms.

2. NetRexxD: Documentation in printable (PostScript) form:
   • the NetRexx language definition
   • the NetRexx language supplement (describes the enhancements in NetRexx 1.1, and the netrexx.lang package)

The NetRexx documentation and software are distributed free of charge under the conditions of the IBM Employee-Written Software program. If you download or use a NetRexx package you agree to the terms in the IBM License Agreement for Employee-Written Software. Please read it before downloading.

To view the online documentation you need a text editor or a Web browser.

To run the software, you will need the Java runtime and toolkit (from the 1.1.x or later Java development kit) installed on your target machine. For more information on these:
