- This program and it's documentation are Copyrighted by Carlos Miguel Salas
- Gonçalves Batista.
-
- The TagFile techology used by TagBoot, is copyrighted by José De Almeida
- and it was originally created and develloped for the TagMail program, an
- excelent utility that works with the almost all offline mail readers, such
- as Qmail DeLuxe², MegaMail, Silly Little Mail Reader, EZ Reader, Session
- Manager. It automaticly adds your signature (any kind, any size), and a
- multi-line tagline (any size), at the end of your message, after replying.
- It works complety in background, in silent mode, but it is not a TSR
- program. Works real faster !
-
- TagBoot was created with José De Almeida's knowledge and help. For more

-
- TagBoot syntax is: TAGBOOT [path]TagFileName[.TAG] C | R
-
- Where TagFileName stands for the TagFile that you want to use at the
- moment (you may add path and extension if you want) and C and R are one of
- the modes of consulting the TagFile. 'C' stands for ciclic consult this
- means that TagBoot will start from tagline number 1 and following a growing
- order till the end of the TagFile then it will start all over again. To
- make the Ciclic Consult possible you can't delete the (TagFileName).POI
- that is on the directory of the .TAG that file is the pointer file.
-
- The 'R' stands for Random Consult and as the name says makes a random
- consult to the TagFile.
-
- You can run TagBoot and the TagFile from any directory you may want.

- │5. More TAGs│
- └────────────┘
-
- You can create your own TAG files! That's the most exciting thing about the
- excelent TagFile technology and file format. To do it just use the
- TAGLINK.EXE file that cames with TagBoot.
-
- TAGLINK.EXE v0.02ß is a José de Almeida Copyrighted software, who has
- authorized it's distribution as part of the TagBoot package.
-
- And it works like this:
-
- The "source" of a TagFile is no more nor less that a ordinary text file,
- and it is only necessary to indicate the end of each TagLine, and the
- TagFile author's name. Each TagLine can have multiple lines and each line
- can be 70 characters long. There is no limit for lines that a TagLine can
- support. However TagBoot will only support TagLines with 9 or less lines
- because of the space on the screen!
-
- The maximum number of TagLines on a TagFile is 65,534.
-
- The expression that designes the TagFile author's name may have a maximum
- lenght of 26 characters. Signature example:
-
- TagFile by José De Almeida
-
- Beetween each TagLine must exist a separator, that is 5 characters "-",
- ASCII 45, Hexadecimal 2D.
-
- Example of a TagFile:
-
- line content
- ····· ························································
- 1 TagFile by NONAME
- 2 -----
- 3 First Tagline
- 4 -----
- 5 Second TagLine
- 6 -----
- 7 Third TagLine
- 8 -----
- 11 Tagline formed by two lines. This is the first line
- 12 This is the second line
- 13 -----
- 14 This is the Last TagLine
- ····· ·······················································
-
- Take the bundled BESTOF.TXT file as an example of a TagFile's source.
