Welcome to TTR, The Tagline Ripper. This is the program email users have 
been waiting for, now you have it!


So what does it do then?
========================
Quite simply, TTR rips those amusing (or not) little comments from the 
bottom of messages. It then puts them in a single, easy to manage, file 
that you can then keep, edit, or just throw away.


I don't want no stinkin' CLI thing!
===================================
Neither do I! This is an Amiga in the 1990s and CLI based software is for 
PC clowns. This utility is fully intuition driven and uses the ASL file 
requester for simple file location.


Has it got funny requirements?
==============================
TTR requires Kickstart 2.0 or higher and needs the CLI command Search to 
be in your C: directory.


How do I use it then?
=====================
The requesters give all the help you need but heres an example TTR 
session :-

i) Double-click on the TTR icon.
ii) Click on 'Okay'
iii) Click on 'Okay I will...' to continue or 'Nah, forget it' to quit.
iv) Choose the directory that contains your message area files.
v) Click on 'Okay'

A file called Taglines can now be found in RAM:. If no taglines were found,
this file will be 0 bytes.


I bet its shareware :(
======================
Nope, its GOTHWARE. If you use this and like it I suggest you send me 
something Gothic ie black. Anything, anything at all, just make sure its 
black. In return you will be put on my mailing list and will be sent the 
latest version of TTR as well as any other GOTHWARE that I have written.

Are there bugs in it?
=====================
No bugs have been found.


How about a version history
===========================
1.0 - 26/8/93
      Internal release.
      A simple tagline ripper written in 1 hour. Totally CLI based but 
      gives a 'usage' help line when started without arguments. The tagline 
      file it produces is very messy and contains ANY text containing 
      '... ' whether a tagline or not.

1.1 - 28/8/93
      Internal release.
      Still CLI based but I have added requesters giving information and 
      prompts. TTR is now Kickstart 2.0+ only.

1.2 - 29/8/93
      Internal release.
      All non taglines are now removed before a 'Tagline' file is written 
      to RAM:.

1.3 - 31/8/93
      First public release.
      Asl file requester support added. TTR is now totally GUI driven and 
      nolonger has CLI support.


Will there be more revisions?
=============================
Possible improvements include :-

o  User definable output file.
o  More tidying, removing duplicate taglines.
o  Sorting into alphabetical order.
o  Progress display.
