■ Getting Started ■
■ Introduction ■
Welcome to the Cherry Picker documentation. This document is
supposed to help you understand how to use Cherry Picker.
■ Notice ■
With Cherry Picker, I am testing built in program integrity
testing. This is to let you know if Cherry Picker has been
modified, such as by a Virus. If you have any problems, or
comments about it, please let me know them. Thanks!
■ Purpose ■
I wrote Cherry Picker when I realized that there were no tagline
managers that currently did what I wanted. I came across a few
good tagline managers, but they imposed limits on me such as 50
character taglines, and tagline files of 1200 taglines or less.
They were also slow, having to load the whole file into memory
before starting. Cherry Picker is an improvement on these.
Cherry Picker supports:
■ Tagline files of up to 64,000 taglines.
■ Taglines up to 70 characters in length.
■ Shareware ■
Cherry Picker is a shareware program which means that it is not
free. The idea of shareware is to allow the user to try the
product for a limited time before actually buying it. Shareware
can be freely distributed by any number of means in its
unregistered and unmodified state. Cherry Picker may be used
for an evaluation period of one month, after which time, you
should either delete it or register it. Please consult
REGISTER.DOC for information on how to register Cherry Picker.
■ System Requirements ■
An IBM compatible computer
An Off-Line Mail Reader
Approx. 135k of free memory
■ Installation ■
Cherry Picker is relatively simple to install. Just copy all
the files to a sub-directory, such as C:\BWAVE\CP Then, you
need to create Cherry Picker's Virtual Array using the
following command:
C\>CP IMPORT [Virtual Array filename] [Your TEXT tagline file]
so, the command line may look something like:
C\>CP IMPORT TAGARRAY.VAR C:\BWAVE\TAGLINES.BW

■ Getting Started (cont.) ■
■ Installation (cont.) ■
After the virtual array has been created, Cherry Picker may be
used to select taglines. But, now your mail reader needs to
call Cherry Picker. Cherry Picker may be called two ways.
■ Running as John Hancock ■
Many mail readers now support a wonderful tagline manager
called John Hancock. Most of these mail readers will allow
you to enter the commandline to execute. To use Cherry Picker
in the John Hancock mode, your mail reader needs to read John
Hancock's JH?.REP files. If it does, then you can call Cherry
Picker from the John Hancock commandline. This is done with
the following command line:
CP CHOOSE [Name of Virtual Array]
Thus, if using BlueWave in C:\BWAVE, and Cherry Picker and the
tagline file are in C:\BWAVE\CP, and the tagline file is
called TAGARRAY.VAR then the command line would look like this:
C:\BWAVE\CP CHOOSE C:\BWAVE\CP\TAGARRAY.VAR
