Scion Genealogist © Rob Akins (biz/dbase/Scion.lha) is comprehensive,
easy to use, and provides Arexx ports for extracting data.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Scion2html.rexx can repeatedly and painlessly recreate HTML files from
entries in Scion data bases for cross-platform viewing via Mosaic, etc.
Scion2html.rexx can also create AmigaGuide style ".guide" hypertexts
_____________________________________________________________________________
GfxCon © Dirk Farin (gfx/conv/gfxcon.lha) is used to make Thumbnails
from Scion data base pictures as links to Picture Albums
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
Prerequisites: Scion V 4.07+ © Rob Akins
ARexx (of course :)
rexxsupport.library ( WB disk:libs )
rexxarplib.library ( aminet:util/rexx )
HTML/WWW browser (AMosaic, Mosaic, ... )
also: (to incorporate and display in-line pictures)
GfxCon V1.7+ © Dirk Farin ( must be in: Sys:Tools)
Amiga OS 3.0+ for displaying picture datatypes
_____________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: The directory suffix for the AmigaGuide files has changed from A to AG
Internal links prevent simple renaming of [....]A to [....]AG
_____________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: To allow HTML customization of ( ¶ ) info files, i.e. P{IRN}.DBNAME
and F{IRN}.DBNAME files, Scion2html.rexx will now remove certain HTML
tags, <p></p><tt></tt></pre><pre>, when writing guide & text files.
_____________________________________________________________________________
PN{IRN}.DBNAME files are used to generate the ( ¶ ) info files.
PICTURES from [P|F]P{IRN}.DBNAME are links to Picture Albums ( ® )
(please see PP & FP Notes later)

| Bugs: (eeeek!) |

| Scion2html.rexx only recognizes the first Scion ARexx port name: "SCIONGEN"|
| If additional copies of Scion are running concurrently, they are ignored. |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
| |
| If a new Thumbnail format is selected, the user must manually edit |
| the Picture Album files to reflect the new Thumbnail suffixes. |
| _____________________________________________________ |
| / The reasoning behind this restriction is: \ |
| /¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\ |
| / The Picture Album files may have been User modified \ |
| ( and must therefore be protected against auto-regeneration ) |
