INTRODUCTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is THE Arexx script you have been waiting for since the dawn of time!  It
calculates  the  percentage  you  have quoted in your fido-letters and makes a
tagline that shows this percentage.


FEATURES:
~~~~~~~~
o  Use with any editor and mail program.
o  Graphic user interface through Reqtools.
o  Runs automatically after writing a letter.
o  Taglines in a seperate, editable file.
o  Random tagline feature.


REQUIREMENTS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
o  OS 2.04 or later.
o  Arexx by William S. Hawes
o  RexxSupport.library
o  ReqTools by Nico Francois
o  RexxReqTools.library by Rafael D'Halleweyn


INSTALLATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Copy the files 'QuoteTag26.rexx' and 'QuoteTag.tags' to your desired direc-
   tory, preferaply to your REXX: directory.

2. Insert the  command you  normally start your editor  with, in  the variable
   'editor' in the script.  If you are in doubt, check the config in your mail
   program, and copy the command from there.  Make sure the editor doesn't run
   asynchronously i.e. use  the '-keepio' option for CygnusEd.  If your editor
   doesn't support this, you must set 'checkchanged=0' (see 5).

3. Insert your  mail-program's screenname in the variable 'pubscreen'.  If you
   aren't sure what  the name is, consult  the manual for the program,  or try
   running  a  program that can check for screen-names (like ADPro or CEd) and
   look for a name similar to that of the mail-program.
   Known names are:  Spot: 'SPOT'
                    April: 'AprilScreen'
                   Foozle: 'FOOZLE'

4. Insert the path to  the tagfile 'QuoteTag.tags' in  the variable 'tagpath'.
   NOTE: It must end with a '/' or ':'.

5. Check  if  your  editor  run  as  an  background  task.   If  it  does, set
   'checkchanged=0' else set 'checkchanged=1'.

6. If  you  want  to  add  a  tagline  to every letter  you write, you can set
   'askadd=0' to prevent  the requester from popping up every time.  Otherwise
   just keep it set to 1.

7. In   your   mail  program,   change  the   editor  launcher   to  read  'rx
   <path>QuoteTag26.rexx',  and  if there is a code (like "%s") that specifies
   where to put the filename, just add that after 'QuoteTag26.rexx'.


HOW TO USE:
~~~~~~~~~~
Really  easy!  Once you have finished editing or writing a message, the script
will  put  op a requester asking you wether or not to add a tagline.  If there
already is a tagline, it will be quoted in the requester, so you know what you
are about to delete.

If  you  get  bored  with the supplied taglines, feel free to edit them or add
your own in the QuoteTag.tags file.  Read the instructions in that file.

All use is at your own risk, but rest asure that all efforts have been made to
ensure that the script is perfectly safe.
