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.

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.

Examples of Command lines for various modem programs: C:> TAGGER PROCOMM ["options"] C:> tagger c:\zcomm\zcomm "call stockton" C:> TAGGER BOYAN Options must be in quotes.... At this point you would log into your bbs as usual using whatever normal faculties of the modem program. After log in , list files available with normal PCBOARD(tm) commands.

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 ..... LEAVE msg on Stockton PCBOARD 609-652-4914 ED BLAYER 1008 W.BAY Ave Barnegat,NJ 08005
