Silly Little Mail Reader ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into Silly Little Mail Reader (SLMR). If you experience double taglines with SLMR, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within SLMR, modify the Configuration option PACKERS and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> PKZIP -A ! New Option> \path\NEWZIP PKZIP -A ! TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %4 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works.

OLX v2.x - The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the OLX v2.x configuration: ENABLETAGS - taglines will be disabled within OLX - 01 REPLYHEADER - header on replies for the Quote Enhancer - Y QSTYLE - quoting style for reply file generated (none) - 01 QSTRING - quote characters to use for reply file (none) -blank- EDITOR - Editor name, \path\TAGX //BC f SWAP - swapping enabled - Y SWAPXMSEMS - EMS/XMS swapping enabled - Y QUOTEDFILE - file that OLX creates - REPLY.MSG REPLYFILE - file that OLX reads with changes - REPLY.MSG OLX v3.x - The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the OLX v3.x configuration: Hardware - EMS/XMS/DISK swapping enabled Editor - \path\TAGX f (external editor only) Replies - Taglines OFF; Quoting NONE; Quote Prefix BLANK; Header ENABLED Function Keys - F7 = TAGX q CURRENT.MSG (internal editor only) F8 = TAGX t CURRENT.MSG Deluxeý ~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into Deluxeý. There are two options you MUST change manually within Deluxe's configuration; FLAGS "Show message header in your editor" to NO; and SuperShell to YES. You should delete all the taglines stored by Deluxeý and enter them into TAGX instead. If you experience double taglines with Deluxeý, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. Within the Deluxeý Configuration file add NEWZIP.BAT before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> PKZIP -A New Option> \path\NEWZIP.BAT PKZIP -A TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %4 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the Deluxeý configuration: Editors - C:\path\TAGX //BC f %O Show message header - NO (manually) SuperShell - YES (manually) Jabber ~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into version 1.2 of Jabber. Other versions have not been tested with TAGX and are not guaranteed to work. If you experience double taglines with Jabber, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. Within the Jabber Configuration file add NEWZIP.BAT before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> {ZIP=PKZIP !} New Option> {ZIP=\path\NEWZIP.BAT PKZIP !} TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %2 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the Jabber configuration file: SWAP=Yes SWAPEMS=Yes QUOTE_QUOTE=No QUOTE_REPLY=No REPLYHEADER=Yes PREPROCESS=\path\TAGX //BC q C:\path\ @QUOTE@ POSTPROCESS=\path\TAGX //BC t C:\path\ @QUOTE@ TAG_QUERY=Never The batch file TAGX_RUN.BAT contains the following: \path\TAGX //BC f %1 TAGX simply ties into the PRE and POST PROCESS options in Jabber. However, there is apparently a small bug within v1.1 that does not add the required message header to the reply file before TAGX can quote it - hence the quote enhancer does NOT work! When this problem is fixed by the author, TAGX will quote your messages. In the meanwhile - if you use an external editor you can add the TAGX command line to a batch file to execute before calling your editor; or assign an F key if you use the internal editor. Speed Read ~~~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into Speed Read (Speed). If you experience double taglines with Speed, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within Speed, modify the Configuration option Compression Prgs. and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> PKZIP -m -u %s New Option> COMMAND.COM /c \path\NEWZIP.BAT PKZIP -m -u %s TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %5 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the SpeedRead configuration: General Setup - Quoting - Initials NONE Quote String BLANK External Programs - Editor - \path\TAGX //BC f %s Toggles/Options - Swapping ON Taglines OFF (5) Reply Header ON MegaReader ~~~~~~~~~~ TAGX installs automatically into MegaReader. Note that since MegaReader uses a non-standard message header format, the TAGX quote enhancer will not work. However the tagline management capabilities of TAGX are not affected. You have to be using the internal editor with the default configuration. When you are done editing, press ALT-S (for Spell Check) and MegaReader will execute TAGX instead which adds the tagline for you. If you are using a spell checker, you will have to edit the batch file TAGX_RUN.BAT and add it manually before the TAGX command line, and both the spell checker and TAGX will work. If you are using an EXTERNAL editor, MegaReader does NOT access the Spell Checker batch file! You will have to edit the external editor batch file to include the TAGX command line after the editor is called. You should leave the Spell Checker swap option as YES, giving TAGX more memory to operate in. MegaReader does not allow it's tagline to be disabled if it is unregistered. And it is not possible to use the UNTAG utility with MegaReader due to the method in which it calls PKZIP. If you are experiencing double taglines in your replies, you will have to manually fix them by the following process: 1> UnZIP the reply packet PKUNZIP packet.REP; 2> Type UNTAG packet.MSG; 3> ZIP the reply packet PKZIP packet.REP packet.MSG This can be achieved automatically with a simple batch file: @ECHO OFF PKUNZIP %1.REP UNTAG %1 PKZIP %1.REP %1.MSG and execute this batch file with the packet name (NO extension) on the command line, it extracts the reply file, corrects the double tagline problem, and then compresses it again. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the MegaReader configuration: Spell Checker - \path\TAGX t MESSAGE.TXT where \path\ is the path to TAGX's config and database. Blue Wave ~~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into Blue Wave. If you experience double taglines with Blue Wave, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within Blue Wave, modify the Configuration option ARCHIVERS and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> C:\ZIP\PKZIP.EXE @F @I New Option> \path\NEWZIP C:\ZIP\PKZIP.EXE @F @I TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %3 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the Blue Wave configuration: MISCELLANEOUS: ENTER/REPLY OPTIONS: When to Quote replies = YES : Insert quote header = YES MISCELLANEOUS: TAGLINE CONFIGURATION: Selection = NONE DIRECTORIES: Editor file path: = \path\TAGX_RUN.BAT STRINGS: Quote Header String: = ::To: @T From: @F Subj: @S ::@N----------------------@N The batch file TAGX_RUN.BAT contains the following: \path\TAGX f %1 1st Reader ~~~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into 1st Reader. If you experience double taglines with 1st Reader, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within 1st Reader, modify the Setup option PACK and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> @API$(5)QZIP %1 %2 /NOCLS /CURSOR_OFF New Option> \path\NEWZIP PKZIP %1 %2 Note that the classic PKZIP program has been used instead of QZIP that comes with 1st Reader. TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %3 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are changed by TAGX within the 1st configuration: EDITOR: \path\TAGX //BC f %O %R ORIGINAL: REPLY: Note that you MUST use an external editor in order to use TAGX with 1st Reader! A new header definition file is created called HEADER.HDR, which allows the TAGX quote enhancer to work with 1st Reader. RoboMail ~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into RoboMail. Note that since the internal editor does not allow any method to 'hook' external programs, TAGX can only work with an EXTERNAL editor! When installed, TAGX will use the default editor name that it finds in the RoboMail configuration, if this is wrong or if you change your editor, make the change ONLY in the TAGX configuration (System Settings, Editor) - NOT in RoboMail! There is a small bug within RoboMail v1.30 that add a message header to replies. Due to this bug, if you attempt to re-edit a message, TAGX will be forced to requote the message. If you experience double taglines with RoboMail, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within RoboMail, modify the Configuration option Archive Manupilation Create ZIP and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> PKZIP.EXE @T @S New Option> NEWZIP PKZIP.EXE @T @S TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG \path\HOLD\*.MSG %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 RoboMail uses a file list to pass parameters to PKZIP, this NEWZIP batch file should work for most configurations. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the RoboMail configuration: XMS Swap = Y EMS Swap = Y External Editor = \path\TAGX //BC f %S %T Editor RAM = 640 Original File = ORIGINAL.TXT Reply File = REPLY.TXT Quote Style = Full text quoted Quote Prefix = Taglines = Disabled Fido Taglines = Disabled TAGX supports the RoboMail 'Tag-n-quote' system. When TAGX installs itself automatically, it forces RoboMail to quote the entire message. If you prefer to use the 'Tag-n-quote' system, simply change RoboMail's configuration (Quoting Options) to REFORMAT TAGGED LINES; this will make TAGX quote only the lines that you tag with the space bar within RoboMail. Remember, if you do not tag any lines, the quote box will be empty! Silver Xpress ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tag-X Pro installs automatically into Silver Xpress. If you experience double taglines with Silver Xpress, you can use the UNTAG.EXE utility provided with this archive. From within Silver Xpress, modify the Configuration option PACKERS and add NEWZIP before the compress command, e.g. Old Option> $PKZIP -M ! New Option> $\path\NEWZIP PKZIP -M ! TAGX will create a batch file called NEWZIP.BAT in the mail reader directory, you should edit it and ensure that the file reads: \path\UNTAG %4 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 If you have changed your compress commands, change the UNTAG % number to the parameter for the replies message file that is compressed by the packer. Advanced Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This information is provided only to satisfy curiosity, and explain the process by which TAGX works. The following options are automatically modified by TAGX within the Silver Xpress configuration: Signature file name = Tag line file name = Tag line manager = External editor = $\path\TAGX //BC f Small msg editor = NO When to quote = ALWAYS Quote characters = Optional quote prg = Reply Header = ::To: @FN@ From: @TN@ ::\n----------------------\n
