I would like to know if there is a way to execute a script file with dnet. What I want to do is startup dnet and then execute some file at the amiga end and it will log on to the unix end and perhaps run a program. I've tried to do this just bye echoing commands from the CLI to ser:, but dnet locks the serial device, and this is not possible. If there is any way of doing this, I would appreciate the help. Thanks, rsn

With AREXX it would be possible to do script files. I purchased AREXX a little while ago and I am just getting around to learning it.

PLEASE PLEASE not an Arexx port. Don't make DNET dependent on third party
software. Just put a state machine in there.

>PLEASE PLEASE not an Arexx port. Don't make DNET dependent on third party >software. Just put a state machine in there. Maybe this is a common misconception... Adding an ARexx port does NOT make the software less usable for people without ARexx. It only makes in more usable for people with it. There are very few (if any) programs that add an ARexx port and then yank out other interfaces as being "obsolete". An ARexx port can be added to a program with only a small amount of code, and the person without ARexx won't be able to tell. For developers: If your appliction can benefit from an ARexx port, try to put it in (in an upgrade if you're out of time and money). For a lot of people, an ARexx port often swings the decision between competing products, so you're helping yourself out, as well as the user. (Gosh, think of an ARexx connection between Magellan and say... DungeonMaster!) .. Aaaagghhh... Klunk..
