Usage

If to use it from Workbench: Just doubleclick the icon. For settings you should pick the General item in the settings-menu. If you want to read about the features, press {"this" link "features"}. TOOLTYPES: CX_POPUP=Yes/No: Not working currently, can be set in iconification settings in the AmiComSys general settings. Should AmiComSys open its window at startup? Default is Yes. CX_POPKEY=lalt shift a : The hotkey which will cause AmiComSys to Show its Main Window. Default is lalt shift a. CX_PRIORITY= -128 - 127 : The commodities priority. Default is 0. Server = anyhost.domain.anywhere : The server which AmiComSys will connect to. Defaults to acs.hostile.cx. Port = amarqueed port: The AMarqueed port which the server uses. Defaults to 2957, which is the official AMarqueed Port. MULTIPLE = Yes/No: If yes, Several copies of AmiComSys may be started. Bear in mind that they must connect to different servers for this to work. It's possible to fake this if you connect to localhost and set the environmental variable AMARQUEED_FAKECLIENT to different hostnames. e.g. setenv AMARQUEED_FAKECLIENT /number.com/AmiComSys You should never set this to Yes, unless you like to run AmiComSys connected to a local server on your Amiga. Default is No. REALNAME = Yes/No: If yes, AmiComSys will read the environmental variable REALNAME and use its value as RealName. Miami sets this variable automatically. Default is Yes. USERNAME = Yes/No: If yes, AmiComSys will read the environmental variables LOGNAME, USER or USERNAME and use its value as Login. Miami sets USERNAME automatically. Default is Yes. LOGIN = : The loginname you want to use in AmiComSys. NAME = : The realname you want to use. COMMENT = : The comment you want to be showed next to your name. EMAIL = : Your email address. It will not be showed for others. It will has a usage in a future version. HOMEPAGE = : FTPSITE = : RECONNECT = Yes/No: Specify if you want AmiComSys to try to reconnect when no connection could be established or the connection is lost, or just quit. Useful if you start AmiComSys from an Online-script. Defaults to Yes. If you put AmiComSys in the WBStartup drawer RECONNECT should be Yes, and if you run AmiComSys from an Online-script RECONNECT should be set to No. If yes, AmiComSys will try to reconnect one time every minute if connection is lost. The problem is if you set this to NO, and the server reboots AmiComSys will quit. So probably it's better to set it to YES, and shut it down via Arexx when you goes offline. PROGDIR = Set it to the path to your AmiComSys directory if you start AmiComSys from another directory than it's own, e.g. WBStartup drawer. This is needed so AmiComSys can find the rexx and images directories and the config files. If to use it from Shell: The command line is: AmiComSys CX_POPUP=Yes/No CX_POPKEY=hotkey CX_PRIORITY=0 Server/S Port/N MULTIPLE=Yes/No REALNAME=Yes/No USERNAME=Yes/No LOGIN= NAME= COMMENT= EMAIL= RECONNECT=Yes/No HOMEPAGE FTPSITE PROGDIR= LOWRESOLUTION All tooltypes above can also be used exactly the same as command line arguments. e.g. AmiComSys Server=amicomsys.tibb.at Port=2957 Reconnect=No For more settings see Settings.
