<B>About <Signature Randomizer></B>
<BR>
A small program I've written on a rainy afternoon;<BR>
It allows you to select a different signature for your favorite eMail
program each time you boot your computer.
<BR>
<BR>
All signatures are kept in a single file, a random quote is chosen each
time 'SignatureRandomizer' is launched. The program writes the new
signature to a file called 'CurrentSignature.txt'.
<BR>
Select this file as signature in your favoured eMail application.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>The 'Signature Randomizer' is freeware.</B><BR>
However, if you like the program please feel free to send me an eMail, a
postcard, money or whatever :-)
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>Installation</B>
<BR>
Just place an alias of 'SignatureRandomizer' in your 'Startup Items'
folder.<BR>
That's all - the program will be launched each time you boot
your system.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>Adding your own Signatures</B>
<BR>
'SignatureRandomizer' comes with a samples file including three different
quotes.<BR> When specifying your own quote, please note that:
<UL>
<LI>a quote line is limited to 80 chars</LI>
<LI>signatures can contain max. 4 lines</LI>
<LI>each signature must be followed by a <TT>@</TT></LI>
</UL>
Sample file containing a single signature:
<PRE>
--+---+-+--+---+-+--+---+-+--+---+-+--+---+-+--+---+-+--+--
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
- Sledge Hammer
@
</PRE>
There's no restriction as to what the (up to four) lines specifying a
signature can contain; just note that a line starting with the <TT>@</TT> character
is interpreted as the end of a signature.

<B>Requirements</B>
<BR>
As mentioned before, the 'Signature Randomizer' is a quick hack and hasn't
been thouroughly tested; however your computer should match at least the
following specifications to run the program:
<BR>
<UL>
<LI>a Macintosh (or compatible) computer equipped with any PowerPC CPU</LI>
<LI>MacOS 8.0 or greater (appearance manager required)</LI>
</UL>
