Short: Auto Connect scripts for Miami Author: ragriffi@sprynet.com (Richard Griffith) Uploader: ragriffi sprynet com (Richard Griffith) Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.0 Requires: Miami Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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
