SnagTag 2.0 - The tagline snagger for 1st Reader
Copyright (c) 1993 by Michael Leavitt, All Rights Reserved.

Description:
SnagTag allows you to add to your tagline collection while
reading messages in 1st Reader. It captures the tagline from
the message you are reading and automatically adds it to your
1st Reader tagline file with just a couple of keystrokes.
You can optionally also use the MME feature of SnagTag to play
an appropriate VOC file as it snags the tag.

Requirements:
SnagTag requires Sparkware's 1st Reader to operate - it will
not work with any other mail reader.
A Sound Blaster card is necessary if you want to use the MME
feature of SnagTag. SnagTag will work even if you don't have
one.

Installation:
When you unzip this ZIP file, you'll find 5 files inside:

SNAGTAG.EXE - the main program
SNAGTAG.DOC - this file
$$F1.BAT - the batch file to start SnagTag from 1st Reader
$$F1.DOS - 1st Reader display commands for executing SnagTag
SNAGTAG.VOC - the VOC (sound) file that SnagTag will play when
you snag a tag if you have a Sound Blaster.

All ready? Just copy all the files into your main 1st Reader
subdirectory. That's it!

Using SnagTag:
When you're reading mail and see a tagline you've just got to add
to your collection, just hold the SHIFT key and press the F1 key to
activate SnagTag.

SnagTag will pop up a window showing you the tagline that it picked
up from 1st Reader. If upon looking it at it again, you decide that
you don't want to save it, just press the key and it will be
discarded. However, pressing any other key will cause SnagTag to
save the tagline.

Where the tag is saved to:
Normally, SnagTag will add the snagged tagline to the 1st Reader
TAGLINES.DAT file, where it's ready for immediate reuse.

However, if the tagline file is full - or if the first line in your
1st Reader tagline file starts with DOS: - the tagline will instead
be added to a text file in the 1st Reader main directory called
SNAGGED.TAG. This is a standard ASCII text file that you can import
into 1st Reader's tagline file, or import into the tagline files of
other tagline manager programs (like the wonderfully exotic JH3).

Cute noises:
If your system is equipped with a Sound Blaster (or compatible) card,
SnagTag will play the SNAGTAG.VOC file as it snags a tag for you. You
can replace this VOC file with any VOC file you'd like - just copy
your new VOC to SNAGTAG.VOC. This file (like all of the SnagTag
files) needs to be located in your 1st Reader main directory.

If you don't have a sound card, or if SnagTag can't find the
SNAGTAG.VOC file - no sound will be produced. Hint: if you've got
a Sound Blaster but don't want to hear anything when you snag a tag,
just delete or rename the SNAGTAG.VOC file.
