NetRexx 1.142 is now available, from

    http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx/

This version is a maintenance release, primarily to support changes in
the Java Development Kit (JDK) introduced for Java 1.2. Please see the
User's Guide for details for additions to the class path needed to run
under Java 1.2.

The other changes are:

* A type on the left hand side of an operator that could be a prefix
  operator (+, -, or \) is now assumed to imply a cast, rather than
  being an error.  For example:  x=int -1

* Improved code generation for for and to loops.

* The euro character ('\u20ac') is now treated in the same way as the
  dollar character (that is, it may be used in the names of variables
  and other identifiers).  Note that only UTF8-encoded source files
  can currently use the euro character, and a 1.1.7 (or later) version
  of a Java compiler is needed to generate the class files.

* The arithmetic routines have slightly improved performance, and
  provide accurate binary floating point conversions for constants.

* More robust handling of import, and import from classpath root
  segments generalized.

* Improved error messages when an indirect property is initialized
  with a forward reference.
