                            Rexx/SQL
                           for Oracle
                              OS/2


This archive contains the executables for Rexx/SQL for Oracle under
OS/2; both .exe and .dll's.

Rexx/SQL is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License. See the enclosed file COPYING for details.

A test script; tester.cmd is also provided.  It should thoroughly test
all aspects of Rexx/SQL.  It can be run at the command prompt like any
other .CMD file, or as the first parameter to REXXSQL.EXE. ie
rexxsql tester.cmd. Run as a .CMD file, the REXXSQL.DLL is used.

For Rexx/SQL to function correctly, it requires an Oracle DLL;
ORA7O32.DLL. There are various versions of this DLL, depending on
the release of Oracle7 for OS/2 you have.

If you do not have the DLL with this exact name, there will be one with
a similar name in the $ORACLE_HOME\DLL directory. Copy this file to ORA7O32.DLL
(in the same directory) and Rexx/SQL should then work.

Some examples (that I know about)

Oracle 6.0       ORA732.DLL
Oracle 7.0       ORA7O32.DLL
Oracle 7.1       ORA_D71O.DLL

If you can't determine which is the correct DLL to copy, look inside
the DLLs in the $ORACLE_HOME\DLL directory for a DLL that has the
strings "OCAN" and "ORLON".

You may want to re-attach the Extended Attributes to the EXE and
DLL files if they were lost during extraction from the archive.  Simply
run the command 'joinea.cmd'
