-
- 2. What does this do ?
- ======================
-
- This is an AREXX script that copies an addressbook that you have created
- with YAM, as an addressbook for MicroDot II, completely retaining the
- group structure.
-
- 3. Requirements.
- ================
-
- For the script to work, you need to have RexxMaster running. If you
- haven't, you'll find it in the Sytem drawer of the WorkBench. Doubleclick
- on it to start it, or better, copy it to your WBStartup drawer to start it
- automatically every time you boot your system.
-
- You will also need the 'rexxreqtools.library' to be present in your Libs
- drawer. If you haven't got it, you can find it on Aminet.
-
- Obviously, you also need YAM and MicroDot II. :-)
-
-
- 4. How to use it ?
- ==================
-
- First, set your YAM and MicroDot II paths in the script itself. It's
- marked where to do this.
-
- When this is done, there are two ways of using this script :
-
- 1) From the Shell. Just type : RX <your YAMpath>/Rexx/YamBookToMD2.rexx
-
- 2) Install it permanently in YAM as a menu item.
- For this, you need to edit the '.config' file which is in the YAM
- directory.
- If you already have rexx menu items installed, just add this as another
- one.
- If you haven't, put the following line as the last line in the '.config'
- file : RexxMenu0 = Yam:Rexx/YamBookToMD2.rexx and save your
- configuration.
- You can then run the macro by selecting it from YAM's ARexx menu.
-
- That's all ! :)
-
