What is it?

WinTag, DOSTag and NGSTag simply display "tag lines" stored in the
file TAGS.DAT. The three programs and the required files are as
follows:

DOSTag: Text-only version, displays tag line then exits. DOSTAG.EXE,
TAGS.DAT

WinTag: Microsoft Windows version, see GUI versions below. WINTAG.EXE,
TAGS.DAT, CTL3D.DLL

NGSTag: NGS GUI version (self contained). Needs VGA. See GUI versions
below. NGSTAG.EXE, TAGS.DAT

GUI Versions

The GUI versions, WinTag and NGSTag, display the tag line formatted
onto two lines within a window. Operations are as follows:

Left Mouse Click in Window: Close program Right Mouse Click in Window:
View another tag line Press Escape: Close program

Under NGSTag, you may also select the Close box to close the window.

As default the WinTag window is displayed for 5 seconds, or until you
click in the window or press escape. To increase or decrease this
delay, simply include on the command line the number of seconds delay
required... e.g. WINTAG 15 for a 15 second delay. Note that the window
is invariably shown for longer than 5 (or 15) seconds, as the timer is
not apparently updated whilst the hour glass cursor is displayed.

The Tag Lines were all grabbed from various conferences on Nildram
Software's Shareware Support BBS on (01442) 891109.

Adding your own tag lines

Simply load the file TAGS.DAT into NOTEPAD and add lines to the end of
the file. Make sure that there are no blank lines at the end.

No registration needed - this is Bannerware! Please take a look at any
