FREEWARE AGREEMENT
BragTag is a "freeware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please
do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
BragTag may NOT be used in a commercial environment without
prior arrangement with ABS Software Development. A BBS operated
for profit IS a commercial environment; however, a subscription
system not operated for profit is not considered a commercial
environment in relation to this agreement.
Anyone distributing BragTag for any kind of remuneration must
first contact ABS Software Development at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering BragTag immediately (However ABS Software
Development must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of BragTag.).

WHAT DOES BragTag DO?
BragTag will add an ascii comment file to .ZIP & .ARJ archives
BragTag verifies that a file is a valid archive, it does not
rely on the extension. It uses EXEC calls to PKZIP.EXE &
ARJ.EXE to add the comment.
CONFIGURATION
BragTag should run on any system running MS-DOS 3.3 or higher
with at least 384K free RAM. It uses direct screen writes.
BragTag is DESQview aware, and will write to the virtual buffer
when running under DV to avoid 'bleed through'.
HOW TO RUN BragTag
BRAGTAG [options]
Run BRAGTAG with no options to pop up a help screen.
BragTag currently supports the following options:
(case is not important, either '-' or '/' may be used as a switch)
/C [comment filename] - REQUIRED
/N [archive filename(s)]
/A - Check ALL Files (Finds Mis-Named Archives)
/S - Check for Self-Extracting Archives
The comment filename is the full path and filename containing
your comment to be added to the archives
The archive filename(s) are optional. *.* is used if the /N switch
is not present. The current directory is always used, specifying
a path as part of the archive filename(s) will not have any effect.
Wildcards are fully supported.
/A checks all files, whether they have the .ZIP or .ARJ extension or
not, to see if they are a valid archive.
/S checks for and comments Self-Extracting Archives ending in .EXE, or
ending with any extension if the /A switch was used.
