TAGGER (C) E.J.BLAYER 1989,1990
NEW FEATURES ELSE SKIP TO USING TAGGER
Version 3.7 6/1/90
Extended Copy Features (Mouse Only)
When TAGGER is in the Foreground and IF a tagfile is available
a "c" for copy or Middle button on a three button mouse will present
an addition Menu with three options:
Filename Drag- A Point,Shoot,drag and release capture of Filename
to the internal list. Most useful for multiple
column file lists as the "AUTO" mode will only search
for the first occurance of a file name per line.
Block - Mark diagonal corners of a text block and save
to the tagfile. Messages or any text can be quickly
"cut" from the screen. Mark ANY starting corner
and its diagonal to "cut" text.
This and Screen both append to the TAGFILE.
Screen - Save the entire screen of text to the tagfile.
The captured text to the tagfile has trailing spaces removed.
if the Tagfile is not activated by the set option below (from Ver 3.6)
the "c" or Middle mouse button activates the Filename Drag function
immediately without a menu.
The new COPY menu item selection is by mouse movement only. The bottom
status line will give a more detailed "Help Info" as the items are scrolled.
The "HELP" on the status line will guide the use of the function when
selected. As usual the left mouse button selects and the right mouse button
aborts or exits all functions. The ESC key will also cancel or exit any
function.
Version 3.6 2/1/90
ADDED - COMMENT FILE.. if the file name starts in the 1st column
the entire line is written to a user specified file. This should
satisfy requests from sysops that need the comment line to update
there own system . This option is activated by adding a "set" to
the environment.
set tagfile=c:\pathname\filename.ext
This file is appended on each session of TAGGER

FILE SELECTION OFF LINE
Using GETFILES.BAT
This Utility Shows HOW to automate the process of:
1. Un-archiving the master list such as COMPUDAT.ARC or SSCFILES.ARC.
2. Using a listing program to page through the file lists,
from which you would use TAGGER to collect file names,
3. Run your modem program and use tagger to send the collected
file names to the bbs for download.
The first time user may wish to use the following:
c:>TAGGER COMMAND
This will Envoke a new command.com from a shell under TAGGER.
You can now list the bbs's master file in any way you wish.
Activate TAGGER at any time with the hot key and TAG file names.
Exit the listing program and run your modem program as usual.
Tagger is holding your file list .
Activate Tagger at the door prompt as described in the on line
procedure and output the file names.
When you exit the modem program ,at the dos prompt type EXIT
and hit enter..
This will dissolve TAGGER and remove it from memory...
MOUSE SUPPORT
Release 3.0 an up Has mouse support , If You have a mouse driver
that does not support the "SAVE MOUSE STATE" function ,the
mouse CANNOT be used ...Try to get an updated mouse driver.
The Functions are used as follows:
1. With TAGGER activated with the HOT-KEY,click
the LEFT button on a line with a filename to
add to the TAG list.
2. Click the LEFT button on any Status line function
to activate that function.
3. Click the RIGHT mouse button to EXIT the current
Function ,even tagger itself..
4. An additional Point and Drag FILENAME pickup is
available only with the mouse.
It is available by clicking Left button at the
far left of the STATUS line. Notification that
this function is active is a Flashing "*" in the
TAG name on the status line. You can now pickup
a single filename by placing the mouse cursor on
the item to be picked up and press the left button,
hold and drag left or right ,when button is released
pickup ends..
This will be most useful in picking file names up in
messages and on non PCBOARD(tm) systems where several
columns of file names exist.
This function is a one shot,your back to the standard
pickup.Activate it again to point and drag...
RIGHT button will cancel this mode if you decide not
to pickup a text block.
If the area selected is longer than a permissible
filename length (xxxxxxxx.xxx) the excess is clipped off.
See New features for ver 3.5 to 3.7 for additional
information for a mouse at the beginning of this file.
PROBLEMS -MACHINE LOCKUPS...ECT...
This program acts as a TSR in affect and could conflict
with other ill behaved TSR programs. Unload ALL other TSR's
and try them one at a time to locate the culprit...
MODEM PROGRAMS
Tested with ZCOMM,PROCOMM,TELIX,BOYAN and users report it has worked
all modem and communications programs available..
Of course graphic mode systems such as WINDOWS ARE NOT supported...
MEMORY .. TAGGER uses approximatly 45K.
TAGGER was Written in Microsoft "C" 6.0 and assembly.
BIOS Calls only were purposly used to maintain compatability
with ALL video systems. This results in a visual slowness
of reverse video functions, but reduced the size considerably.
As some MODEM programs are greedy on memory and will drop some
functions such as scroll back buffers if memory is insufficent,
this was the only way to go...
OS2- Works in the DOS BOX ,no problem. Possible version for protected
mode later.
Need Feedback on any problems .....
