keep the costs as low as possible when emailing? These arexx
scripts keep the time you are connected to an absolute minimum!


DESCRIPTION:

GenesisOnline.yam will start and put Genesis online from YAM before
downloading or sending new mail.

GenesisOffline.yam optionaly starts YAM2NN by Karol Bryd & Magnus
Johansson, disconnects Genesis from your server, and if installed
starts YahooGroupsScanner.rexx by Steve Bowman.
Get them from Aminet, comm/mail/YahooGpScan1_1.lha.
                      comm/news/Yam2NN_0.87.lha
If mail is send it will also check if there is new mail on your
mailserver and download it before hanging up if the option "SEND"
is used.

The connection will not be touched if other programs like browsers
or FTP clients are running or Genesis was already online.

GenesisQuit.yam cleans up when you quit YAM.


REQUIREMENTS:

Genesis, YAM 2 and REXX. Optionaly YahooGroupsScanner.rexx and YAM2NN
for stripping YahooGroups adverts and NNTP support.

The scripts work with Genesis 1.0.6, YAM 2.2 and OS 3.1. Other versions
are not tested.


INSTALLATION:

=========================================================================

IMPORTANT: Change GenesisOnline.yam script so it uses the Genesis
           interface you use for connecting to your ISP!

=========================================================================

To install, simply copy these scripts to YAM:Rexx. Copy the programs
from the c-directory to c: and from libs-directory to Libs: Make sure
you do not overwrite newer existing files!
wbstart.library is an OS3.x library, if you use a lower OS version,
get WBStart1_4.lha. It's not on Aminet but it is on Aminet Set 1a.
If you are using OS3.5 get WBStartEmu.lha from Aminet to replace
wbstart.library.

Now open YAM's Config panel and go to the ARexx section. Hilite the
"Before getting mail" item and load "Rexx/GenesisOnline.yam" into the
Script gadget. Double check the Pop-up selector is on ARexx and not
AmigaDOS. Leave "Open console window" unchecked, but (IMPORTANT) make
sure "Wait for termination" is checked ON.

Hilite the "After getting mail" item and load "Rexx/GenesisOffline.yam"
into the Script gadget. Double check the Pop-up selector is on ARexx and
not AmigaDOS. Leave "Open console window" unchecked, but (IMPORTANT) make
sure "Wait for termination" is checked ON.
If you want YAM2NN support add the option "NEWS". Don't forget to add
"rx Rexx/GenesiOffline.yam" into the "After download" gadget on the
events page of YAM2NNConfig!

Hilite the "Before sending mail" item and load "Rexx/GenesisOnline.yam"
into the Script gadget. Double check the Pop-up selector is on ARexx and
not AmigaDOS. Leave "Open console window" unchecked, but (IMPORTANT) make
sure "Wait for termination" is checked ON.

Hilite the "After sending mail" item and load "Rexx/GenesiOffline.yam SEND"
into the Script gadget. Don't forget the option 'SEND'. Double check the
Pop-up selector is on ARexx and not AmigaDOS. Leave "Open console window"
unchecked, but (VERY IMPORTANT) make sure "Wait for termination" is
checked OFF.

Hilite the "Program termination" item and load "Rexx/GenesisQuit.yam"
into the Script gadget. Double check the Pop-up selector is on ARexx and
not AmigaDOS. Leave "Open console window"  and "Wait for termination"
unchecked.

Save your new settings. From now on you only have to start YAM to use
your email!


HISTORY:

  1.00 - 08.11.00  First public version.
  1.01 - 09.11.00  Added a note about YAM2NNConfig in YAMGenesis.doc.
                   The scripts did not change.
  1.02 - 01.03.01  Added GenesisQuit.yam script and removed all 'screen'-
                   stuff. Genesis will use the same screen as YAM.
                   It now uses YahooGroupsScanner.rexx.


THANKS

Thanks go to Steve Bowman, I nicked parts of his eGroupsScanner.readme.
I hope he doesn't mind.
Thanks also to Marcel Beck, of course for YAM, and the MiamiOn & Offline
scripts which inspired me to write these Genesis scripts.
