1295.0. "REZ anyone??" by MTBLUE::PFISTER_ROB (Steak knife, puta hole in my head) Mon Apr 04 1988 12:28

I just installed ARP as well as REZ on my `working' workbench, and what
a difference they make.  With the space I saved from switching to ARP I
was able to throw some more stuff on the disk including REZ.

REZ makes programs resident, and tries really hard not to get upset if
the code isn't re-entrant, or shareable. Two things I really like about
REZ is that 

1) works from the normal CLI (I wish I knew how that works!)
2) each command doesn't get loaded until it is invoked (no pre-loading!)

I've used the `original' Amiga Resident-CLI, the ARP Resident, Addbuffers,
FaccII, and RAM:C tricks in the past to speed things up, but so far REZ
is my favorite.

REZ is PD, and is currently BETA [what's another GURU anyhow?] I'll try
to upload it this week if anyone is interested...

	I've been playing with ARP's resident command, and find it interesting. What is it about REZ that makes it better than 'resident', other than that it sounds like it tries a little harder to load code? Gary

	REZ doesn't require ARun, or a special shell for the resident commands to work is one amazing feature, I'd love to know what REZ attaches to.. Another drawback to the ARP is in order to make a command resident, you have to load the program into resident memory, but with REZ, you just specify the name, and the next time you run it, it gets saved...sorta like FaccII, but it dont ever get pushed out.

	Ahhhh! Sounds peachy. I was a little disappointed in the arun deal. REZ sounds like a winner. It's something that I'd hoped for for awhile. I'd heard about the old, somewhat dangerous resident command, but had never used it. Largely because I couldn't find it, but also because of the warnings. Gary
1295.4	tell ARP!	WJG::GUINEAU		`Wed Apr 06 1988 12:16`	7
	Maybe someone could convey REZ functionality to the ARP people. May as well get all we want in one place... John
1295.5	REZ "posted"?	DECEAT::LANDINGHAM	Eschew obfuscation!	`Thu Apr 07 1988 12:53`	3
	Does anyone have REZ on the ENET? Thanks.
1295.6	soon...	RANGLY::PFISTER_ROB	Steak knife, puta hole in my head	`Thu Apr 07 1988 14:32`	4
	I wont have a chance to upload it till monday, I'll let you know when it is.. Robb
1295.7	REZ on the ENET	CGFSV2::CADAMS	Clint Adams - Calgary, Canada	`Wed Apr 20 1988 19:56`	7
	Hi... Found a copy on a local BBS. It can be found at CGOU01::DUA1:[PUBLIC.AMIGA.NEW]REZ03.ARC Looks like a great utility.
1295.8	Incompatibility	DICKNS::MACDONALD	WA1OMM Listening 52.525	`Thu Apr 21 1988 16:43`	3
	I understand that it is not compatible with Shell V2.07. Paul
