Introduction to BragTag
───────────────────────
BragTag is a program which will display a humorous quote each time someone
logs onto or off of your BBS. It does this by creating two different files,
one containing ANSI escape characters and one containing just plain old ASCII
text. This way both groups of people can view the quote, those who are using
colour mode and those who do not.
Directions
──────────
BragTag is very easy to setup because it comes with it's own configuration
utility. The easiest way to set up BragTag is to use this utility. BragCfg.EXE
will prompt you for the proper information and then create a file called
"BRAGTAG.CFG", which is used by BRAGTAG each time it creates the two display
files. If you would rather make your own config file with a text editor this
is the format of the config file:
BBS NAME <- put the name of your BBS on this line
Header Line <- a line displayed before the quote
Footer Line <- a line displayed after the quote
ANSI File Name and Path <- the place to put this file when created
ASCII File Name and Path <- the place to put this file when created
Quote Data File Name and Path <- the place where your taglines are located
The configuration file must be located in the same directory as BRAGTAG.EXE,
so you might consider using a batch file to call bragtag if you want to put
it in it's own directory away from your other files. A sample batch file is
included for you to go by.
Once you have the configuration file set up all you have to do is set up
your BBS so that after a caller logs off it calls BRAGTAG to create the two
display files. Also you will have to set up your board so that it will
display the proper file to callers when they log on (or off). That's it,
ther's not much to it at all.
Remember you can use any TagLine file as input, even one that you might be
using with your favorite offline mail reader, or any other file that contains
single lines of pure ASCII text.
About Shareware
───────────────
BragTag is being distributed as Shareware, as such you may "try before you
buy". Shareware is NOT free software. You are licensed to operate the
Shareware distribution copy on a trial basis of 30 days. Then if you like it
and make regular use of it, you are required to pay for it.
If you find this program of value and continue to use it, please show your
support and send along a small registration fee of $5.00. For your
registration fee you'll get my thanks and a notice of all upgrades of this
and any other utilities that I write in the future. If you send me $10.00
dollars I'll send you a a disk containing the lastest version, when
available, and the SHAREWARE versions of my other utilities. If you'd rather
not register, how about sending me a postcard and telling me where you are
and where you got your copy of BragTag. This way I can find out just where this
program has made it to.
