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"
