JX Open Source Project

JX 3 is an open source implementation of a compiler and runtime support classes for the DB/C language. The JX compiler compiles DB/C source programs into Java .class files. The JX runtime support classes allow for these class files to be run in a Java run-time environment.

To use JX 3, you will need to download the object files, documentation, and jxreadme.txt file. You do not need to download the Java source files. The JX object files are jxcmp.jar and jxrun.jar. The JX compiler consists of the classes of the com.dbcswc.jxcmp package that are contained in jxcmp.jar. The JX runtime support package consists of the classes of the com.dbcswc.jxrun package that are contained in jxrun.jar.

The documentation consists of several HTML files. The index.html file is the place to start. It contains links to the other HTML files.

The use, distribution and modification of JX 3 software is governed by the JX 3 User License Agreement. This agreeement essentially allows for any use of the source, object and documentation without payment of license fees or royalties. In addition, this agreement does not impose any requirements with regard to distribution of derivative works.

To subscribe to the JX Discussion email list, send an email to 'jxtalk-subscribe@dbcsoftware.com'. You will receive a confirmation email to which you need to reply. You are then a subscriber to the list. Whenever anyone sends an email to 'jxtalk@dbcsoftware.com', it will be sent to you and to all other subscribers of the list. Only subscribers are allowed to send emails to the jxtalk list, so junk email should not be a problem.

By default, you will be subscribed in FEED mode. If you are subscribed in FEED mode, each email sent to the jxtalk list will be sent immediately to you and to all other FEED mode subscribers.

If you are not interested in receiving each email immediately, you can instead subscribe to jxtalk in DIGEST mode. When you are a DIGEST mode subscriber, you will receive one email that contains up to 20 of the most recent jxtalk messages appended together in the form of a digest. Each digest will be sent at least once a day so you will never be more than 24 hours behind the discussion. If you plan to be an active contributor to jxtalk, you should be subscribed in FEED mode, but if you just want to keep in touch with the discussion, DIGEST mode may be better for you. To switch to DIGEST mode, send an email to 'jxtalk-digest@dbcsoftware.com'.

When the jxtalk list processor receives an email, it will insert "(jxtalk) " at the beginning of the Subject: field before it is sent out to FEED mode subscribers. This makes it easy for you to identify messages that originate from the jxtalk list. The "(jxtalk) " string can be used with the filtering feature of your email program so you can segregate jxtalk messages into your own mailbox filing system.

The CommuniGate Pro Server also provides a way for you to access the archive of the jxtalk list. You must be a subscriber to jxtalk to access the archive (this is done to keep automated web crawlers from harvesting email addresses of jxtalk list subscribers). To access the jxtalk archive click  here .

You will be prompted for a User ID and Password. Your User ID is the full email address with which you are subscribed. Your Password is the 10 digit Confirmation Number that you used to confirm your subscription. If you ever need to get your Confirmation Number again, just send an email to 'jxtalk-confirm@dbcsoftware.com' and the server will send you your Confirmation Number. After entering your User ID and Password, you can peruse the entire jxtalk list archive.
