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