I use VI to edit most configs and such, just to keep my hands dirty. But for any REAL editing I always use THE.

Sure would be nice if you could convince the powers that Regina and THE belong on the "main" binary DVD. At least in the z world.

Re: Regina and/of THE (The Hessling Editor) install?
Concerning the original post -- I've used Regina REXX on zLinux and continue to do so on both zSeries and my x86 servers at home. It initially came with the SUSE distro as an addon package when I used (SLES7, 8?) it. Using REXX (25 years experience is hard to toss out the window) helped me automate on Linux immediately with little learning curve. For example - I recall a nifty program that looked at all your DASD on zLinux and gave a report on how it was being used (virtual address is dasdx, mounted as x, part of LVM x, not used, etc). Being new to Linux this would have taken 10 times longer than it did otherwise (though admittedly, I would have learned a ton along the way). Now I'm familiar with bash, perl, python, php, et al - and tend to use them for simple tasks. But I still run home to Mama Rexx when I'm doing something less than simple. REXX is just too cool to abandon.. Anyway - not sure I did anything here but confirm REXX can and is used on Linux on z. It seems to be missing from the current distros I've looked at for z, though :-( Cowlishaw hero worshiper and fan club member: Scott Rohling p.s. I've used THE - but after being forced to edit where THE isn't available - I've tended to stick with vi/vim for an editor. Now that I know the keystroke contortions, it's not as bad as it once seemed.

Re: Regina and/of THE (The Hessling Editor) install?
Regarding checkinstall, I used it for years, and it saves a lot of work. Install it, and use it to create a RPM package. Do the normal way to extract, configure and make the sourcecode, then use checkinstall to create the rpm: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/whatever-source-dir# ./configure && make && checkinstall make install This will create a RPM file somewhere (checkinstall will say where the file is, usually somewhere under /usr/src/RPMS). So you can go there and issue the rpm -Uvh command.

Do not, under any circumstances, do this on a system that is maintained via RPM. You'll be laying landmines for yourself, or your successor, and your co-workers to step on at some point in the future. You might get away with it for some period of time, but it is definitely considered a bad practice. Use the package management tool that came with your distribution, whether that is RPM, APT, or whatever.

Or just cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS and rpmbuild -bb .spec That way you get an RPM you can install and keep track of. (This assumes there's no special platform specific processing required.)

I've built both of them for Slack/390, but not for SLES. What that means is that I don't have an RPM .spec file to share. But, openSUSE has source RPMs you could try. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.0/standard/src/regina-3.3-112.1.src.rpm http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.0/standard/src/the-3.1-359.1.src.rpm Download them, then do an "rpm -ivh" on them. Then, cd to /usr/src/packages/SPECS, and one at a time (regina first?) do "rpmbuild -bb packagename.spec" matching "packagename" to the .spec file you find there. Let me know how it goes.

Regina and/of THE (The Hessling Editor) install?
Has anyone installed either of these products on z/Linux (SUSE)? If so, can you provide some detailed instructions to do so? I am assuming that I will have to install from source and have not done that before.
