- Short: Auto Connect scripts for Miami
- Author: ragriffi@sprynet.com (Richard Griffith)
- Uploader: ragriffi@sprynet.com (Richard Griffith)
- Version: 1.0
- Type: comm/tcp
- Requires: Miami
- Distribution: freely distributable
-
- One of the few things I like about those wintel boxes is
- the semi-automatic network connection when you attempt to
- use the tcp/ip stack. These arexx scripts provide similar
- capabilities when used as a wrapper for your internet
- applications.
-
- You must customize a script for each of your tcp/ip apps
- for this process to work. This is just identifing the full
- path to the appliction. The scripts call a common routine
- at startup to make sure Miami is launched and online. At
- shutdown, a similar call checks to see if this was the last
- application running, and if so, offers you a chance to
- shutdown Miami.
-
- The ideal (for me anyway) way to use these scripts is in
- conjuction with a toolmanager style dock, but scripts can
- be used in many ways. For example, with one click, I start
- YAM on its way. No remembering to launch Miami first, no
- checking to see if maimi is online or not, just one click
- and I'm in my e-mail account. Same for browser, ftp, etc.
- Its so convienient, I now take it forgranted.
-
- Requirements
- - arexx
- - Miami and appropriate internet applications
- - ability to copy and edit a few files
- - ability to install those files in your REXX: directory
