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.
History
=======
1.0 Released into Acorn newsgroups (16.2.96)
1.1 Released from Ant ftp site. This version generates sig files each time
unlike the earlier version which relied on an alteration to !Marcels !Run
file. (22.2.96)
1.2 Now word wraps long taglines (thanks D.McFarlane). Now reads all Taglines
including the first. Removes old sigfiles which were building up in !Scrap.
(25.2.96)
