WinTag/DosTag/NGSTag, fun programs by Neil Gorin What is it? WinTag, DOSTag and NGSTag simply displays "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 apparantly 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 (0442) 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. Registration No registration needed!
