What they are:
These use a combination of Arexx and REBOL scripts to build a currency
conversion table, allow for lookups within it, and do currency conversions.
Installation:
1) create an assign for Amirc:
2) create an assign for Rebol:
3) copy the Rebol directory from this archive into Amirc:
4) copy the contents of the Rexx directory into your Amirc:rexx
5) within AmIRC create these aliases:
bldrates /rx bldrates
convert /rx convert %p
currency /rx currency %p
Usage:
bldrates
has no arguments. It may take a while depending on your connection.
It reads the page at pacific.commerce and creates a currency table
used by the others.
currency string/A
locates information matching a string. For example, "currency finn"
will return "FIM Finnish Markka 0.200602" in the AmIRC list.
convert amount/A from/A to/A
is used to convert an amount of one currency to another. For example,
"/convert 1 cad trl" will return "1.00 CAD = 183716.44 TRL"
