Download Tutor.zip, unzip it in some directory of your choice, and run setenv to set the path (for Linux users: use . ./setenv.sh, not ./setenv.sh, or your path will not be set).
You can then navigate to the samples directory and try the samples by using [rexx] rxu filename, or experiment interactively with the rxutry utility.
- For The Unicode Tools Of Rexx (TUTOR, this file).
- For RXU, the Rexx Preprocessor for Unicode
- Using TUTOR from Classic Rexx
New and changed features in the 0.6 release are:
- The package is now distributed as Tutor.zip instead of Unicode.zip.
- RXU, the Rexx Preprocessor for Unicode, has been rewritten from scratch to use the newly developed Rexx Parser.
- The rxutry.rex utility program has also been updated.
- The package is now hosted on https://rexx.epbcn.com/tutor/ (daily builds and releases). and https://github.com/JosepMariaBlasco/TUTOR/ (releases only), which makes for much simpler and easy to remember URLs. Additionally, the rexx.epbcn.com version uses the new Rexx Highlighter.

- 20240326 — Update all BIF railroad diagrams, add some new for STREAM ENCODING
- 20240325 — Update tokenizer constants, in preparation for clauser
- 20240325 — Start working on new railroad diagrams, using the same tools as in rexxref. First document migrated: new BIFS
- 20240323 — Fix RexxLA/rexx-repository#7
- 20240323 — Implement the STRINGTYPE BIM, fixing RexxLA/rexx-repository#9
- 20240323 — U2C was left undocumented in 0.5.

- The UTF8 routine can be used independently of TUTOR. UTF8 detects whether Unicode.cls has been loaded (by looking for the existence of a .Bytes class that subclasses .String), and returns .Bytes strings or standard ooRexx strings as appropriate.
