- Random Taglines for Marcel
- A small PD program for use with Marcel
- Written by Brett Laniosh brett@g4nzk.demon.co.uk
-
- I've written a small BASIC proglet to add a random tagline to your
- signature file. I did this as I missed the feature when I moved from
- TTFN to Marcel.
-
- The program !Tag simply takes a random tagline from a file called
- Taglines (same as in TTFN) and appends it to your sig file (/sig).
- The result is the file /sigfile.
-
- It is a simple prog but it works!
-
- Taglines are simply lines of text separated by a new lines. The PD
- program "!TTFN" available from Hensa and Demon contains examples of
- Taglines.
-
- Installation
- ============
- Open your copy of !MarcelDir by double clicking on it.
- Create a backup directory inside !MarcelDir.Files
- Copy your Taglines from !TTFN or elsewhere into !MarcelDir.Files.
- Rename your signature file /signature to /sig
- Copy the following to !MarcelDir.Files:
- !Tag
- /signature (this is a data file unlike the original text file)
- Check your /sig + tagline does not exceed 4 lines!
- Double click on !Tag and check that the file /sigfile has been created
- as you require.
