- Short: OnlineMiami v1.1 Arexx scripts
- Author: Jason Davies (obiwan)
- Uploader: obiwan@thenet.co.uk
- Version: 1.1
- Type: comm/misc
- Requires: comm/misc/Online1.5.lha, comm/tcp/Miami11a.lha, and ARexx installed.
- Replaces: comm/misc/onlinemiami.lha
-
-
- Features: Three simple ARexx scripts: Onlinestart.miami, Onlinestop.miami, and
- Onlineabort.miami.
-
- Install: Dearchive scripts to your miami/rexx directory.
-
- Onlinestart.miami needs to be edited for use on your system.
-
- Using a text editor alter the path in the second line of the script which
- reads:
- ADDRESS command 'run <>nil: Work:Comms/OnlineMeter/OnlineMeter'
- to point to the OnlineMeter program in your set-up.
-
- Unless you are a British Telecom user you will have to change the
- 'Local' value for setzone to an appropriate zone used in your OnlinePrefs
- program (see Online-O-Meter.guide for more info on zones).
-
- If you use Miami's "get time" function and wish to automatically
- save the corrected time to your realtime clock, you can uncomment
- the "setclock line" in the OnlineStop.miami script (thank you to
- Rene Bour for the suggestion). For further information concerning
- Miami's "get time" function please consult Miami.guide.
-
- A list of various time servers is available at the following
- website:
-
- http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html
-
- To use these scripts with Miami:
-
- Launch miami,
- Select "Events",
- Place "Onlinestop.miami" in "active Offline"
- Place "Onlinestart.miami" in "Online"
- Place "Onlinestop.miami" in "passive Offline"
- Place "Onlineabort.miami" in "failed Online attempt"
- Select "Settings/Save" menu.
-
- Comment: These scripts are public domain (well I couldn't very well call it
- shareware, or even freeware for that matter). Kick it, beat it, poke
- it in the guts I don't care - change it to your own requirements.
- It literally took me two minutes to write (if that) and I possess
- virtually no knowledge of ARexx. ARexx is cool. ARexx is very cool,
- everyone should learn it!. Stop reading this and write a script, yes
- you, the one in front of the monitor DO IT NOW!!!.
- Get "Mastering Amiga ARexx" by Paul Overaa (Bruce Smith Books).
