"a2g" is an ARexx script which I wrote to make using Aminet2Guide with Term
a lot easier.


To use "a2g", first copy the "a2g.rexx" file into your "S:" directory.


Then, when you're logged into Aminet (via Term, of course!):

1) "get TT" a RECENT or INDEX listing (i.e., have the listing displayed to
   your Term screen)

2) Save the Term buffer to "RAM:Aminet"

3) Switch back to the Workbench screen

4) From a shell, type in the following command:

      rx S:a2g.rexx


The "a2g" ARexx program will then do the following for you:

   1) Turn on the "Shanghai windows" option of the Term screen

   2) Use "C:Aminet2Guide" to create a RAM:Aminet.guide file from
      the RAM:Aminet file 

   3) Use "C:AmigaGuide" to display the RAM:Aminet.guide database
      in a window on the Term screen

   4) Once you've quit the AmigaGuide window, turn off the "Shanghai
      windows" for the Term screen


Of course, you can modify the ARexx program to your liking if you
have the "AmigaGuide" or "Aminet2Guide" programs somewhere other than
"C:", or want to change the location/name of either the saved Term buffer
file or Aminet2Guide output file.


WARNING: "a2g" should ONLY be run from OUTSIDE the Term program
         (i.e., from the CLI/Shell).  For some unknown reason,
         running this from within Term causes the Term screen to
         go blank!
