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:

            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!!!.

            (comms/tcp and comms/misc respectively).  The latest versions and
            further information concerning these programs can be found at the

            10/1/97     V1.1    added setclock save, updated readme file

Future:     Well what else do you expect it to do?
