OS/2 Tagline Manager "read me!"
Copyright (c) 1999 Jonathan de Boyne Pollard.
c/o 1 Queen's Close KENILWORTH CV8 1JR, United Kingdom
Guarantee and Software licence
──────────────────────────────
The Tagline Manager is copyrighted software, with all rights reserved
by the author, which the author encourages everyone to share and to
use freely. The terms and conditions of the software licence, and the
guarantee information, are contained in the on-line help document
TAGMGR.HLP .
Installation to a dedicated directory
─────────────────────────────────────
To install the tagline manager to a directory dedicated to holding it,
such as C:\TAGMGR, for example, simply unpack the distribution archive
into that directory.
PKZIP -extract -dir=curr TAGMGR C:\APPS\TAGMGR\ *
( This assumes that the distribution archive that you received was in
ZIP format, and that you are using PKZIP version 2.50 for OS/2. )
You will then need to add the directory to the PATH and HELP
environment variables. For example, if you have unpacked the tagline
manager into the C:\APPS\TAGMGR directory, you will need to either
(a) Create a *.CMD file with the following statements in it
PATH C:\APPS\TAGMGR;%PATH%
SET HELP=C:\APPS\TAGMGR;%HELP%
which you then execute before using the tagline manager; or
(b) Add C:\TAGMGR to the PATH and HELP environment variables in
CONFIG.SYS and restart your system.
Installation to a multipurpose directory
────────────────────────────────────────
If you already have general purpose catch-all directories where you
like to store your third-party tools, message files, and on-line help
files, then you simply need to extract the relevant parts of the
distribution archive into the different directories.
For example, if your general-purpose directory for executables is
C:\LOCAL\BIN, and for help files is C:\LOCAL\HELP, then you need to
extract as follows:
PKZIP -extract -dir=none TAGMGR C:\LOCAL\BIN\ *.EXE
PKZIP -extract -dir=none TAGMGR C:\LOCAL\HELP\ *.HLP
( This assumes that the distribution archive that you received was in
ZIP format, and that you are using PKZIP version 2.50 for OS/2. )
Getting started
───────────────
The various command-line options, how TAGMGR can interface to off-line
reader programs, and how to invoke TAGMGR in non-interactive mode, are
all explained in the on-line help. To view the on-line help for the
tagline manager, start it with the command
TAGMGR
and select "Help" and "Help Contents" from the menu.
To start TAGMGR and proceed directly to the help for the command-line
optoins, use the /? option, which must be the first option on the
command line. i.e.
TAGMGR /?
