Best Scripting Language?
« on: December 26, 2004, 10:45:05 AM »
It looks like I'm going to be reinstalling OS3.9 for quite a while, until I get it right. I really don't mind doing it, actually, it seems normal, when you cut your teeth on Windows. But, I am quickly getting tired of having to do manual installations of AmiCDFS. Not only do I prefer this CDROM file handling system to CacheCDFS, which comes with OS3.9, but I actually need to install it first, into WB3.1, before I can even reinstall OS3.9, sitting, as it does, on a CD drive. The installation instructions are simple enough, I just wish I could automate the process, and be done with it. I'm thinking a script is called for here. My question is: What is the best scripting tool available for the Amiga, that's already a part of the WB OS? :idea:

Now that is a great idea (the lha stuff)! Actually, I like them both. Also, 'back in the day' I remember reading about the emergence of Arexx, and all the great things that could be done with it. But now, I'm afraid, after all these years, I've forgotten what little I knew about it. What's it all about, anyway?

Well, just to be on the sate side, I did both (my first time!) and it worked without a hitch. Now, I want to study up on the syntax. More bathroom reading material!  :-P
