Tagliner Documentation (C) by Martin Steigerwald
$VER: tagliner documenation 37.2 (7.4.96)
Freeware
NAME: tagliner
VERSION: 37.0
FORMAT: FILE [<files>] [COMMENT]
TEMPLATE: FILE/A/M
REQUIREMTS: OS2.04
PURPOSE: Quotes one tagline from one ore more tagline files.
FILE Hmmm, guess what...
EXAMPLE TAGLINER examplefile
TAGFILE FORMAT #
tagline1
#
tagline2 ...
Dont add anything after the last tagline. Dont even add a
linefeed...
No securitychecks on the fileformat! However it wouldnt
crash on a non tagline file...
For now tagliner uses a buffer of 2048 bytes which at
least ensures properly quoting taglines with approx. 1024
chars... If you have longer taglines (you shouldnt really)
contact me and I may add a manual buffer length setting.
STATUS/ This software is freely distributable freeware.
DISCLAIMER
Copyrights remain to the author.
NO WARRANTIES! Simply _NO_ WARRANTIES. (I could put in a
boring big DISCLAIMER text... but I think this is enough.
If I experience a situation where this wont be sufficient
I will add a *BIG* disclaimer;-)
This program has been written in a few ours, so I wont
take any responsibility if it eats your amiga or beams it
to me directly ;-).
For bugs or suggestions dont hesitate to contact me.
If you want CtrlC handling and know how to add that to
Amiga E source then contact me... ;-)
HISTORY 37.0 first version that I liked ;-)
37.1 added $VER string to the executable
fixed silly bug causing a crash when tagliner is
invoked with no arguments
37.2 *FASTER* and *SHORTER* ;-)
Speed demon, now quotes instantly from a 30mb tagline
file.
Thanks to Peter 'pst' Stegemann for the great and
simple idea just to seek to a random byte position
and search the quote on that position.
Tagliner now does only *1* seek no matter how big the
file is.
Option COMMENT removed.
