Future enhancements:

1.) Downloading capabilities though that can already be done
    with the configurable switches in DGS.DEF.   The intention
    is not to provide a download utility but one for uploads.
    Your bidirectional options will handle the downloading
    for you as well.

2.) Better Documentation.

Files included in this archive include:

TAGFILE.EXE : Main control program.
DIRN.EXE    : File Tagging utility called by TAGFILE.EXE.  This may be run
              independantly of TAGFILE.EXE
DGS.DEF     : Sample configuration file.
TAGFILE.TXT : This document.
READ.ME     : Document to contain future enhancements so you don't have to
              Read this everytime there is an enhancement.
ID.BAT      : Batch file for processing DIZ ( prepared descriptions ) files.
DESC.SDI    : Desctription of Program for BBS posting ( inserted by TAGFILE )

1.) Edit DGS.DEF to match your system.  Be sure the executable files are
    either in your path or your current subdirectory. ( Executable files
    called by this program are DSZ.COM, HSLINK.EXE, and DIRN.EXE ).

 DGS.DEF outline   :

Line  1: test.lst      <- Name of file listing tagged files (No Path needed);
Line  2: handshake both sz <- DSZ Command line (Zmodem);
Line  3: sb <- DSZ Command line (Ymodem-g);
Line  4: handshake both sb -k  <- Ymodem command line.
Line  5: -@ -NV -UC:\BOYAN\DL -S2048 <- HS/Link parameters.
Line  6: /I BIMOD1.LOG <- Bimodem Parameters
Line  7: PUMA P2 HF S@TEST.LST  <- User configurable protocol to execute.
Line  8: Upload Puma Batch  <- User configurable menu entry.
Line  9: c:\qed\q.exe  <- Path to your favorite text editor( QEdit recommended);
Line 10: 2             <- Communications port you COMM program uses.
Line 11: 19200         <- Communications port speed
Line 12: COM           <- If using DSZ.COM enter COM here. If using EXE
Line 13: DESC.SDI         enter EXE.  If this line is optional. If left blank
               ³          TAGFILE.EXE will default to DSZ.COM.
               ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄ -> Text file created by TAGFILE with file descriptions
                          for files uploaded in batch mode.


See sample DGS.DEF file included here.

2.) To run this utility setup a macro in your communications program;

BOYAN:
I set mine up in Boyan for the "F9" key. To do this in Boyan, load
BOYAN.COM.  Enter "ALT-C" to configure boyan.  When the configuration
menu shows enter "M" for macros.  Pick the key you want to use from
the menu selections and then enter the prompt as follows:
\DC[TAGFILE]

Please send your setup for a registered version of TAGFILE which will
include a Number and your name Imbedded in the program.

TELIX:
QMODEM:
TELEMATE:
OTHERS:

Make sure DGS.DEF and DIRN.EXE are in the subdirectory you load
TAGFILE.EXE in.  This utility is not nearly as sophisticated as Byte
Brothers POWRN nor is it intended to compete with them.  This is
intended to simplify your batch uploading.

The commands on the menu are self explanitory.  The "U" will send the
upload command to the host system along with the file names of the
tagged files.  Once the command is sent you will be returned to your
communications package in case you haven't told your favorite BBS which
protocol you want to use.  Once you have done so return to tagfile and
press the upload key for the protocol you wish to use.


Once you have tagged some files for uploading, dial your favorite BBS
and have a good time transferring files.  Be sure to upload quality files.
This makes your sysop infinitely happy.
