 Scion Genealogist © Rob Akins (biz/dbase/Scion.lha) is comprehensive,
 easy to use, and provides Arexx ports for extracting data.
_____________________________________________________________________________

 Scion2html.rexx can repeatedly and painlessly recreate HTML files from
 entries in Scion data bases for cross-platform viewing via Mosaic, etc.

 Scion2html.rexx can also create AmigaGuide style ".guide" hypertexts

 GfxCon © Dirk Farin (gfx/conv/gfxcon.lha) is used to make Thumbnails
 from Scion data base pictures as links to Picture Albums

		rexxarplib.library	( aminet:util/rexx )
		HTML/WWW browser (AMosaic, Mosaic, ... )


	 also:	 (to incorporate and display in-line pictures)

_____________________________________________________________________________

 NOTE: The directory suffix for the AmigaGuide files has changed from A to AG
       Internal links prevent simple renaming of [....]A to [....]AG 
_____________________________________________________________________________

 NOTE: To allow HTML customization of ( ¶ ) info files, i.e. P{IRN}.DBNAME
       and F{IRN}.DBNAME files, Scion2html.rexx will now remove certain HTML
       tags, <P></P><TT></TT></PRE><PRE>, when writing guide & text files.
_____________________________________________________________________________

     PN{IRN}.DBNAME files are used to generate the ( ¶ ) info files.

     PICTURES from [P|F]P{IRN}.DBNAME are links to Picture Albums ( ® )

                  (please see PP & FP Notes later)
