$T.REX
$T.REX
This is the $T.REX (REXX) program which is used by many other REXX programs to display error or informational message(s),
some of the options are:
- in color(s) (if supported)
- highlights (in color) parts (up to 8 unique parts) of the text (if supported)
- write text to a file
- breaks/splits the text into multiple lines
- adds indentation
- justifies the text: left/right/center/justify (auto-fill)
- add blank lines before and/or after the displaying of text
- boxing (around) the text
- add spacing around the text inside the box
- only showing specific lines of the text messages
- suppressing specific lines of the text messages
- translation of specific characters in the text
- allowing other characters to be used for blanks
- repeating a text
- allows remarks in the text
- writes the message, waits for a confirmation to proceed
- delaying (waiting) after the text is displayed
- showing a scale and/or a ruler above/below the text message(s)
- supports hex/dec/bit strings
- changing the case of the text
- reverses the text
- inverts the bits for certain characters
- sounds alarm (beeps) after the text is displayed (if supported)
- displays the text in reverse video (if supported)
- displays the text in (big) block letters
- clear the screen after or before the displaying of text
- allows user-define option character, the default is . (period)
- and many other options
The help for the $T REXX program is included here ──► $T.HEL.
The $T REXX program makes use of $ERR REXX program which is used to display error messages (via $T).
The $ERR REXX program is included here ──► $ERR.REX.
The $T REXX program makes use of $BLOCK REXX program which is used to generate text to display text in (big) blocked letters (via $T).
The $BLOCK REXX program is included here ──► $BLOCK.REX.
The $T REXX program makes use of LINESIZE BIF which returns the terminals width (linesize).
Some REXXes don't have a LINESIZE BIF, so one is included here ──► LINESIZE.REX.
The $T REXX program makes use of SCRSIZE BIF which returns the terminals width (linesize) and depth.
Some REXXes don't have a SCRSIZE BIF, so one is included here ──► SCRSIZE.REX.
The $T REXX program makes use of DELAY BIF which delays (sleeps) for a specified amount of seconds.
Some REXXes don't have a DELAY BIF, so one is included here ──► DELAY.REX.
The $T REXX program makes use of SOUND BIF which produces sounds via the PC speaker.
Some REXXes don't have a SOUND BIF, so one is included here ──► SOUND.REX.
REXX programs not included are $H which shows help and other documentation.

Programming note: this REXX program makes use of DELAY BIF which delays (sleeps) for a specified amount of seconds.
Some REXXes don't have a DELAY BIF, so one is included here ──► DELAY.REX.
