		ABOUT THE AUTHOR
		----------------
BLOKKER+BLOKKER Software is a firm in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Though we are not a giant company, we have built many systems
which we were pleased to produce and our clients have remained
loyal to us. BLOKKER+BLOKKER is a 'Father & Son' business. This
small utility for Terminate/TerMail was written by Joop (say
Yope) Blokker, the Old Man.

Marcel Blokker is Joop's Secret Weapon. Marcel is a highly
qualified Systems Analyst and a specialist in programming for DOS
and Windows systems. Our experience goes from the building of
complete Production Tracking & Reporting Systems for a big
European Factory to the programming of Industrial Robots; from
Investigation & Analysis Programs to the 'Take Away' system of
the Italian Restaurant around the corner (Mamma Mia! He really
has the BEST Pizzas !). Yes, we take ALL accounts seriously!

<more...>					 <back...>

In order not to make our clients dependent on just two persons,
we gathered a team of qualified programmers. This team can take
over any minute, in case of an emergency.

To the point:

We are specialized in writing'tailor-made'PC-software, for
Business and Industry under DOS & Windows. If you want fast

		Always A Back-Up
		-----------------
If you want to reply to a message that contains a table or a
program listing and the sender did not use TmNice (or was not
familiar with the accepted codes that TmNice permits) and
therefore did not include commands to NOT format their text on
reply, then TmNice might produce formatted paragraphs of listings
or tables, which you would otherwise not wish to be changed.

In that case you must delete all of the text produced by TmNice
and then IMPORT the back-up file TMAIL.BAK into TM.MSG. All good
editors have an import feature so this ought not to be a problem.

HOWEVER: if you use QEdit or Breeze then it is easy to grab a
paragraph of text from the original message, because TmNice sends
both TM.MSG and TMAIL.BAK to the editor.
~~~~~~~

<more...>					 <back...>

You can switch fast from one file to the other and copy parts
of the text that should not have been reformatted from the .BAK
file to the .MSG file.

In QEdit you can chooseAlt-N to switch to the TMAIL.BAK file,
mark a block of the original text withF7 - F8, switch back to
TM.MSG withAlt-N and copy that block with Ctrl K C .Anyway,
it is less work thanhaving to reshuffle ALL paragraphs all the
time manually.

If you exchange program listings or tables of any kind with some
one then maybe you could urge your friend to put/* just before
the listing and */ after it. It will save you the
re-re-formatting of the program listing or table.Once the whole
world uses TmNice it will become a habit.... ;-)


<more...>					 <back...>
As I said before, TmNice sends both the reformatted and the
original text to the editor. However, it appeared that some users
do not want this. They merely want TmNice to send the reformatted
text file only to the editor. Starting with version 4.0 you should
use TMN-CONF.EXE to install and maintain the TMNICE.INI file.

There is a new parameter in the [MAIN] section of TMNICE.INI
called LoadOriginalMessage= with which you can set this at will:

% Usually TmNice sends 2 files to your editor: TM.MSG with the
% (re)-formatted text and TMAIL.BAK with the original text.
% However some of the users prefer NOT to load the original
% message in the editor too, but rather they just want to load
% the reformatted message.
% This is not the author's preference, but you are given the
% option to say YES or NO whether to load the original or not.
%
LoadOriginalMessage=YES

│ Beechwood Plaza - PROFESSIONAL BETA TESTERS WANTED │
╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛

We are an international firm of professional beta testers. The
nature of our work may include review of documentation or
programs in languages other than English. To be a 'good' tester
does NOT mean we need computer scientists; it takes a wide range
of experience and skills to identify bugs and to determine "user
friendliness".

Accordingly, we need to have a large base from which we can
select testers with varying degrees of skills in computer
languages and computer literacy.One of our questions on the
Application Form is to illicit what benefits you see. There is no
benefit from completing our application form whatsoever, other
than the fact that you could then be selected to participate in a
testing programme.
<more...>					 <back...>
Historically beta testers have been unpaid. Many have argued
that the public at large are made into beta testers because
products are often released with bugs just waiting to be
discovered, and this is the reason why the vast majority of
software houses are obliged to issue patches so readily after a
release.

We hope to educate and change the manner in which commercial
software houses operate. We want them to use professional testers
and thereby gain a commercial and competitive advantage.

Accordingly, the payment may not be large, but it should put a
loaf on the table. We cannot be more precise because much will
depend on the project and the number of testers involved.

	PROFESSIONAL BETA TESTERS is a partnership of
Mr Clive Goldman (London) and Mr Joop Blokker (Amsterdam).

Working with a different mailer.
--------------------------------

In TMN-CONF.DOC you find the explanation of how to link
Bo Bendtsen's excellent TerMail program and TmNice

If you use an other program than TerMail, e.g. Blue Wave,
then you can use TmNice as well. However, a number of TmNice
features will not be available. The main function of TmNice,
- the automatic reformatting of text - works with any mailer.

The configuration program is specially made to create the
TMNICE.INI file for use with TerMail. If you want to use TmNice
with an other program then you should create a TMNICE.INI file
manually.

You will find a commented example in the file BLUEWAVE.INI.

						<back...>
	How to CANCEL a message... the TMNICE.CAN solution.
	---------------------------------------------------

If you use TmNice to re-format the paragraphs in reply messages,
or to add a nice Tag or Signature Line to your reply, then
arguably there is one disadvantage or potential problem. Namely,
how to cancel a reply when you are already in your editor such as
QEdit.

Unless Reformat=No is set in TMNICE.INI, then TmNice ALWAYS
changes the original text - doing it's best to beautify the
paragraphs - but at the same time the original text is still
maintained in a file TMAIL.BAK.

But if you want to cancel editing the message, then TerMail
'sees' that TM.MSG has been altered and without asking will save
the unfinished reply. Consequently, you have to delete that
message by hand.
<more...>					 <back...>
Depending on the editor selected, there are however solutions to
address this issue.

I put a little batch file in the TerMail directory called C.BAT
(or you may change the name to CANCEL.BAT if it conflicts with
any other C.BAT on the path)

@echo off
rem C.BAT to CANCEL a reply
rem
ECHO This creates a semaphore file to cancel a reply > TMNICE.CAN
EXIT

If I want to cancel the reply in for example QEdit I choose
'Escape F' (File) and 'O' (OS Shell). Then I type C + [Enter].
Back in QEdit Ichoose Alt-X and tell QEdit NOT to save the
message.

<more...>					 <back...>

So for short:Esc FOC Enter Alt-X N

On return TmNice detects the presence of TMNICE.CAN and
immediately quits after first overwriting the contents of
TMNICE.CAN with an explanatory message. The original message is
copied back to TM.MSG and now TerMail 'sees' an unchanged message
coming back and it will prompt for 'Save Message' again. TmNice
has fed the keyboard buffer with "no" so it is hoped that you
will not in fact see the request message from TerMail. To stuff
the keyboard buffer with 'N' you should define StuffKeyboard=YES.

The next time TmNice starts it deletes any semaphore file. Also
at start-up a copy of the original TM.MSG is made into
TMNICE.ORG. At any stage after shell'ing out, a check is made for
the presence of TMNICE.CAN. If that semaphore file exists, then
everything gets cleaned up and the TMNICE.ORG file is restored to
TM.MSG
<more...>					 <back...>

Another use of TMNICE.CAN is if you use the Afteredit parameter
in TM.CFG. So if for example you use a spell checking program
after you edit messages, by having Afteredit call AFTERMSG.BAT,
then you can have that batch file abort when TMNICE.CAN is
detected. To achieve this edit AFTERMSG.BAT to include as the
first line

IF exist Tmnice.can goto end
......
.....
:END

The :END should appear as the last line to the batch file.

With QEdit you can automate all these key presses by defining
a macro in QCONFIG.DAT

<more...>					 <back...>

Normally the Ctrl-C key combination is used as a substitute for
Page Down. A better use for Ctrl-C in this case is for
cancelling the message.

Edit the file QCONFIG.DAT and search for the next line:

^c	PageDown

Then change this line to:

^c	Dos 'C.BAT' Return MacroQuitFalse GExit

After that save the configuration file and run QCONFIG.EXE.
Now you can cancel a message merely by pressing Ctrl-C



<more...>					 <back...>

I hope C.BAT works with your editor as well as it works with
QEdit.

If your editor does not let you jump to DOS, or otherwise provide
for the ability to run dos calling macros, then I do not see a
solution for this problem other than manually deleting the
unwanted reply when you are returned to TerMail.










<more...>					 <back...>

Solution for EZQuote
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An EZQuote user invented the following smart solution:

-Load EZQcfg and change the attributed key for Abort from F1 to
say:

@a add a new macro:
macrodef B Abort f1
Dcmd home "rem > c:\terminat\termail\tmnice.can" enter
Abort y enter

-Exit the editor Install the revised config.ezq i.e. option 2
from the main menu of ezqcfg.

		DAT FILES
		---------


A date file typically looks like this



% TmNice dates file for extended date descriptors.
%
% *****ENGLISH*****
%
% Select your required date format:
%
Format=DMY	% DMY = Day Month Year
		% MDY = Month Day Year (as commonly used in
				North America)

<more...>					 <back...>




The names of the days are in this table:

Day1=Monday
Day2=Tuesday
Day3=Wednesday
Day4=Thursday
Day5=Friday
Day6=Saturday
Day7=Sunday





<more...>					 <back...>

And the names of the months are in the next table:


Month1=January
Month2=February
Month3=March
Month4=April
Month5=May
Month6=June
Month7=July
Month8=August
Month9=September
Month10=October
Month11=November
Month12=December


<more...>					 <back...>

There are three locations that a date file can be specified; in
the TMNICE.INI [default] and [section] areas and in the signature
file. The purpose of the date file is to automatically change
TerMail numerical date references to an expanded text form. For
example:

25.12.95 would be converted to 25 December 1995 as would
25.12.1995 and 25/12/95 etc.

If a date file is specified in the signature file, then it is
that date file which is used to translate dates specified in the
signature file. In practical terms this means that the date and
time macros in signature files will be expanded into text rather
than numerical fields. (see also SIGNATURE.HLP).



<more...>					 <back...>

Should the dates file not exist, i.e. you typed ENGLISH.DA
instead of ENGLISH.DAT, then TmNice uses its internal English
dates. TmNice tries to present the appropriate date names,
providing your set-up is O.K.

The datesfile specified in a signature file will always be used
for @CDATE macros in that signature file, disregarding the dates
file name you specified in TMNICE.INI.

Consequently the @CDATE macros used in "@BYE"-file lines will use
the datesfile specified in the signature file.

		FEEDBACK
		--------

TmNice reformats the text, that already has been formatted by
TerMail. Actually, it TRIES to repair the damage that has been
done to the paragraphs. I tried to foresee numerous situations,
but nevertheless there is always the possibility that TmNice gets
lost in sorting out TM.MSG. In particular, this occurs if you try
to reformat a huge file list or a list of available areas. You
should always think of the _limited_ memory that is available to
your pc.My contact information is set out in <author>.

If an error occurs, TmNice generates the report file TMNICE.ERR
Hopefully you can solve the problem and this report might be
useful for you. If you can't solve it, please send me the report
by NETMAIL and NOT in the TERMINATE Fido echoes, please. I'll do
my utmost to assist with the problem.
Thank you.
						<back...>
		THE FUTURE
		---------
The future very much depends on you the user. So if you have
suggestions for the next release, drop me a line. See <author>.

I will not issue a bug patch unless someone finds something
seriously deleterious. So hopefully the next release is a long
way off.

The future of TmNice, as with any extension programme, depends on
the core program, TerMail. If TerMail changes fundamentally in
the way it formats, and provides for specialised signatures and
tag lines, then the functionality of TmNice might change.

	Variable Goodbye! Lines.

Normally you place "Kind regards," or something like that in
the signature file. This never changing annoyed me a bit and
therefore I created an extra macro @BYE=.

By simply adding a @BYE= macro line in your signature files,
TmNice places an ever changing Goodbye at the end of your

select a different line from the .BYE file.

Starting with TmNice version 4.0 : Variable Hello!
--------------------------------------------------

You probably have discovered the secrets of the variable
greetings by using a '@BYE=' macro in your signature files.

In a similar way you can make the start of your message less
monotonous. Just a simple change will do the trick. First create
a text file, e.g. ENGLISH.HLO in the TMNICE directory. (An
example file came in the package). The contents of that file
might look like this:

Hi @F,
Hi @TO, how are you today?
Hello @F, how are things going?
Hi @F, I hope you have a nice day!

<more...>					 <back...>

Then switch to the TERMAIL directory and edit your TM.CFG file.
Lookat the MsgStart line of the templates:

MsgStart ~TAG-MYTAG ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHi @F
					~~~~~
and change the last part of this line to:

MsgStart ~TAG-MYTAG ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CR@HELLO=ENGLISH.HLO
					~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The @HELLO= macro instructs TmNice to search for the file
ENGLISH.HLO and to pick a line from that file at random.
Note that there is no space between @HELLO= and the file name.

From now on you will have ever changing greetings at the top
of your message. You should use the @HELLO= macro exclusively
in the MsgStart line. Starting with version 4.2 you have the
option to select a different line from the .HLO file.

	Configuring the TMNICE.INI file
	-------------------------------

The TMNICE.INI file is created by TMN-CONF.EXE the full blown
configuration program that comes with TmNice version 4.x.

You do not have to build the TMNICE.INI file manually, all the
work is done by TMN-CONF.EXE. Whether you upgrade from a previous
version of TmNice or you are a first time user, TMN-CONF.EXE is
The Tool for you.

The purpose of the TMNICE.INI file is to fine-tune the process of
adding a tag line, adding a signature, using or not the link to
the TerPGP and many other settings for each group can easily be
done by setting parameters.

Just run TMN-CONF.EXE from the TMNICE directory and you will be
guided step by step in the process of configuring TmNice.
<more...>					 <back...>

You will notice that the TmNice program detects if the TMNICE.INI
file is newly created or if it is modified at a later time. Then
TmNice will create a new TMNICE.SYS file in the TMNICE directory.
This TMNICE.SYS file is a copy of the TMNICE.INI file, however
all comment lines and empty lines are removed for faster loading
of the parameters.

Please, do NOT modify the file TMNICE.SYS manually. Only modify
the file TMNICE.INI whether manually or by running the program
TMN-CONF.EXE.







						<back...>
		INSTALLING TmNice
		-----------------
Synopsis.

Using the program TMN-CONF.EXE you should change or make one-time
additions to:

TM.CFG- Change the 'Editor' line to call TmNice directly
	instead of calling an editor program.

	- Change the 'MsgStart' lines to point to a 'section'
	in the TMNICE.INI file.		---+---
						|
TMNICE.INI - Define the [MAIN] part.		|
						|
	- Define the [section] parts. ------------------+


<more...>					 <back...>

You should manually change or make one-time additions to:

TMNICE.DNF - Define the text lines you do not want to be
	(re)-formatted.

xxxxx.SIG- Check and modify if needed the contents of the
	contents of the signature files you plan to use.

xxxxx.DAT- Check and make corrections if needed to the dates
	file you plan to use.







<more...>					 <back...>



		INSTALLING TmNice
		-----------------


Un-compress TMNICE42.ZIP (or other archive extension if repacked)
to a separate directory, for instance in a new subdirectory off
in the directory where you put TM.EXE e.g.
C:\TERMINAT\TERMAIL\TMNICE.

Go to the directory C:\TERMINATE\TERMAIL\TMNICE and put all
TmNice files in that directory. Be careful not to overwrite your
existing Tag line files. To assist the new TmNice 4.x tag files
are left in the directory ziped up.


<more...>					 <back...>


Now start TMN-CONF.EXE. Do _not_ skip the help text! It gives you
valuable information!

After completing all questions, TMN-CONF.EXE has created the file
TMNICE.INI and the file TM.CFG will be modified for use with
TmNice. DO NOT WORRY! TMN-CONF.EXE always creates back-up files
of TM.CFG and TMNICE.INI. You can run TMN-CONF.EXE as often as
you like, you can restore your initial set-up any time.


O.K. you are now ready to begin creating new messages. Before
asking me questions, look in the 'Help', please. Do NOT delete
the file TMNICE.HLP from the TMNICE directory, otherwise no
online help will be available with the [F1] function in TmNice.


<more...>					 <back...>

Included with TMNICE42.ZIP are some sample tag files
TMNICE.TAG- my favourite collection
DUTCH.TAG- to keep in touch with the Dutch
GERMAN.TAG- \
LATIN.TAG-\__ kindly donated by TmNice users.
SPANISH.TAG -/
FRENCH.TAG- /
CATS.TAG- tag lines about cats
DOGS.TAG- tag lines about dogs
EXAMPLE.TAG - tag lines showing macro tags, and multi line tags

The name of the default tag file is that specified in the
[DEFAULT] section of TMNICE.INI. However note that for this
version all tag files must be suffixed 'tag' e.g. EXAMPLE.TAG. In
the directory box only files with the .TAG extension will show
up.

<more...>					 <back...>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple line tag lines are
accepted. Please see EXAMPLE.TAG for some examples. The line
delimiter to be used is /n, meaning 'new line'. Take care that no
space before and after /n is needed. Here is one example:

Hi, everybody/nThis is the second line./nThis is the third line.

this will look like this when inserted by TmNice:-

.!. Hi, everybody
.!. This is the second line.
.!. This is the third line.

Also if you already have a tag line containing the /n string,
then be prepared that the tag line will now be handled as a line
break. If you are unsure you should edit the tag file and search
for all /n occurrences.See also the warning in <warning>.
<more...>					<back...>

If you already use a tag-line program, then you are best advised
to stop using that program. TmNice can automatically add a random
Tagline from the file TMNICE.TAG.


NEW! Starting in TmNice version 4.0 : Variable Hello and Goodbye!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

If you have installed TmNice and it runs to your satisfaction
then you might think of using the new 'Variable Hello' feature
too. For this you should make manually a one time change in your
TM.CFG file. You can set up this nice little feature in minutes.
See <hello>

In about the same way you can define a number of variable goodbye
lines that should be placed in *.BYE files. You should refer to
a .BYE file by adding @BYE=filename.BYE in your signaturefiles.
See <goodbye>				<back...>
Internet addresses in the TM.ADR address book file.

For improving the handling of InterNet NETMAIL a new feature is
added to TmNice. If you want to send a netmail to an Internet
address, then you can type the full Internet address in the To:
field of the message header. TerMail recognizes this and replaces
the address by "UUCP". However, TerMail does not prompt you for
the first and last name of the addressee, so the @F, @L and @TO
macros will be unusable.

Now TmNice comes on stage. TmNice prompts you for the first name
and surname. This data and the full internet address are stored
in the file TMNICE.INT. This is a temporary TmNice file in the
\TMNICE directory.
Then when you write your new message, you will see at the top of
the message 'Hello John Brown,' (assuming your Template MsgStart
line ends with 'Hello @F,') instead of 'Hello "jbrown@some.co"'
as produced by TerMail without TmNice.
<more...>					 <back...>

After you saved the message, TerMail adds an extra record to the
address book TM.ADR. NOTE : This only happens if you have enabled
AddressBookAutoAdd in TM.CFG.

However, Termail sets both the name field and the Internet field
to the Internet address. Normally you must correct this manually
but TmNice does correct this automatically for you!

The NEXT time you write or reply (even if it is to someone
different), TmNice detects the presence of the file TMNICE.INT.
This file is opened and every record that you entered is read.
Then a search for a record with a matching internet field is made
in the TM.ADR address book file.If found then the name field in
TM.ADR is changed to the proper name of the person i.e. the first
and last name that TmNice previously prompted you for. If all
entries are matched to TM.ADR then the TMNICE.INT is deleted.

<more...>					 <back...>

However, if no entry in the TM.ADR address book is found then
TMNICE.INT will not be deleted and then it will serve as a
database for Internet addresses. Every next time that you type
that full Internet address again, the real first and last name
are retrieved from the TMNICE.INT database.

TmNice will only open the file TMNICE.INT and search for matching
records in TM.ADR if this file has been newly created or if it
was changed in any way. TmNice does this by resetting the file's
archive bit after it handled new entries. If any other program
modifies the file then the archive bit will be set again. This
will be detected by TmNice and the whole sequence is repeated.
This procedure will save time, because unnecessary searches in
TMNICE.INT and TM.ADR are avoided.

If you have defined in TMNICE.INI SortAddressBook=YES then after
modifying TM.ADR TmNice will sort that file.
						<back...>
		How it works...
		---------------

This is the explanation of how the link between Bo Bendtsen's
excellent TerMail program and TmNice can be made.


If you use an other program than TerMail, e.g. Blue Wave,
then you can use TmNice as well. However, a number of TmNice
features will not be available. The main function of TmNice,
- the automatic reformatting of text - works with any mailer.


The configuration program TMN-CONF.EXE is specially made
to create the TMNICE.INI file for use with TerMail. If
you want to use TmNice with an other program then you
should create a TMNICE.INI file manually. You will find
an example in the file BLUEWAVE.INI.
						<more...>

How it works wit TherMail.
--------------------------

At the end of the TM.CFG file you define the netmail and
echomail areas you are connected to. Example:

%EchoId	Description		Group
%|───────────────| |────────────────────────────| |──────|
Desc NETMAIL	Private netmail┌─────< NETMAIL
					│
% Local area			│
Desc LOCAL-POINTPoint chat area│┌────< BFMLOCAL

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄││││
▌Now concentrate on the Group names.▐││││
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀││││<more...>

Group BFMLOCAL050055022 <──┘││
Group FidoDutch0 1000105023 <───┘│
Group FidoEngl050055024 <────┘

The rest of the lines are left out for clarity. Note that in
every Group there is a reference to a Template number. These
Templates you will find around the middle of the TM.CFG file.

These templates, which are defined in your Termail TM.CFG file,
will become the chain to TmNice. In every MsgStart line of a
template you can now define which set of TmNice options should
be used for messages created using that Template.
						<more...>

					▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
For brevity the other templates are not illustrated and only the
MsgStart lines are shown.The MsgEnd and MsgQuote lines are not
altered for TmNice. On the next screen you see how the
configuration program extends the MsgStart lines.<more...>


The configuration program TMN-CONF.EXE adds TerMail macros
to the MsgStart line of each template:

Template1
MsgStartHi @F,@CR

will be extended to:

Template1
MsgStart~TAGNETMAIL ~F@F ~L@L ~TO@TO ~S@SUBJECT @CRHi @F,@CR


The insertion of the TmNice macro codes as a prefix to the
MsgStart line enables TmNice to provide name, surname, full
name and subject into tag lines and signature files.

						<more...>


TmNice uses the ~TAG keyword to obtain the name of a 'section'
block of options in the TMNICE.INI file.

~TAGNETMAIL ~FJohn ~LBrown ~TOJohn Brown ~SThe subject
═══╤═══
	 │
┌<─┘
│

[NETMAIL]
Reformat=YES
AskBefore=YES
AddTagLine=YES
AutoTag=NO
TagFile=D:\TERMINAT\TERMAIL\TMNICE\TMNICE.TAG
...
						<more...>
Résumé:

1. At the end of TM.MSG you define Group names to the mail
areas.

2. In the 'Groups Block' you make a reference to a Template
number.

3. The MsgStart line of each Template is extended; ~TAGxxxx
points to a [xxxx] section in the TMNICE.INI file.

4. In the TMNICE.INI [SECTION] all options for that particular
section are defined.

You have to make these modifications only once. The most
important thing is that you first decide how to organize
the Group names and Templates. You can define up to 15
Templates, so you can also have up to 15 different Groups.
						<more...>


Each template can be used for different purposes, e.g.


- a template for using with netmail messages you create

- a template for replying to netmail messages

- a template for an echo mail message that was addressed
to you

- a template for joining a conversation (butting in) on
two other people.

- one or more templates for writing in foreign language
areas.

						<more...>

Each of these templates can be connected to a [SECTION] in
the TMNICE.INI file. Therefore it is very important that
you first modify the templates in TM.CFG according to your
needs.


The TM.CFG templates come pre-defined for a lot of different
languages. These templates are good examples of how to use
them, however they generally are not fine tuned to what you
really want.

If you have not done so already, you are advised to organise
the templates first. Jot down the numbers of the templates
with a short descriptive name for the template. Here you have
my templates:


						<more...>
1. DUTCH_NET_NEWfor writing a new netmail in Dutch
2. DUTCH_NET_REPLYfor replying in Dutch to someone
3. ENGLISH_NET_NEWfor writing a new netmail in English
4. ENGLISH_NET_REPLY for replying in English to someone
5. ENGLISH_REPLYfor replying to an English echo mail
6. ENGLISH_CHATfor joining an English conversation
7. DUTCH_REPLYfor replying to a Dutch echo mail
8. DUTCH_CHATfor joining a Dutch conversation
9. DUTCH_NOTAGSfor a Dutch area (tag lines are forbidden)
10. FORWARD	for forwarding a message. (no re-format)

Each of these templates has a [section] in TMNICE.INI where
you define which Tag Line File to use or which signature to
add and so on.

As stated previously you can define up to a maximum of
15 templates in TM.CFG. However in TMNICE.INI you can
manually add more than 15 [sections] and these you could
use for special purposes.			<more...>
If you want to include TmNice macros when replying to
messages, then you can also modify other lines of the template
such as MsgQuote. For example you could use the following when
replying to a message addressed to you (see 5):

MsgQuoteThank you for your message of @DATE about @SUBJECT

... and for joining a conversation (see 6):

MsgQuoteOn @DATE @FROM wrote to @TO about @SUBJECT

You can switch fast to a particular template by pressing
the 'T'-key in TerMail.

Finally delete unused templates from TM.CFG or deactivate them
by prefixing the lines with a '%' sign. This configuration
program will prompt you for a descriptive name for each
template, for which a label name has not previously been
defined.					<back...>
			KLUDGES.
			-------

If you press the 'K' key - while reading a message in TerMail-
the hidden kludge lines show up. These are the lines starting
with 'smiling faces'. If, again, you press 'R' to reply to that
message, TerMail puts these hidden lines in your text, altering
the Ascii 1 characters to '@'.

These lines are treated by TmNice as 'Exception Lines' and will
not be formatted anymore.

Note: if you download messages in a .QWK package, then kludges
will not show up, so I discovered after a .QWK download from a
Dutch BBS. However, I'm not sure if this always is the case.



						<back...>
		 LogFile PARAMETER IN TMNICE.INI
		 -------------------------------

This [MAIN] section parameter in TMNICE.INI allows you to set the
log file name if you want TmNice to log new messages or replies.


DateTime AddresseeSection Subject
-------------------------------------------------------------
01-May-1996 18:55 Dave WapstraNETMAIL T358-359.bdf,etc.
02-May-1996 07:31 Ian UnderwoodENGLISH HD trouble
02-May-1996 07:34 Clive GoldmanNETMAIL Your Internet Site
02-May-1996 16:25 Hans LunsingDUTCHLog File in TmNice.
02-May-1996 16:28 Clive GoldmanNETMAIL Log File in TmNice.

If you want this feature then you should put the name of the
file at the LogFile= parameter in the [MAIN] part.

<more...>					 <back...>
Example to create the logfile in the TMNICE directory:

- LogFile=TMNICE.LOG

However, If you want the log file to be placed in a different
directory then you should define the full path and file name.
Example:

- LogFile=\TERMINAT\TERMAIL\LOGDIR\TMNICE.LOG

You also should define the maximum and minimum values for
automatic cleaning of the log file. If not defined, no cleaning
will be done.

- MaxLogSizeKb=64	% clean if the log file > 64 Kb

- MinLogSizeKb=48	% size of the log file after cleaning.

<more...>					 <back...>

Note:

Having set in [MAIN] the log file name and related sizes, you
then have the ability to turn the log on (YES) or off (NO) for
individual templates. This is achieved by setting the
Log=parameter for each [SECTION] of TMNICE.INI. You should use
the program TMN-CONF.EXE for maintaining the TMNICE.INI file. So
by assigning a [Section] to a particular template which is used
for say a chat area, you can determine whether outgoing messages
are recorded or not in the log.

In addition to recording the date, time, addressee and group of
the outgoing message, the log file also records the subject
heading.To invoke this feature it is necessary that the
MsgStart line in the TM.CFG file includes the parameter
~S@SUBJECT. This is done automatically if you use TMN-CONF.EXE

		 TAG LINE MACRO's.
		 -----------------
With TmNice you can use MACRO tag lines. This means that you can
put @TO, @F, @L or @S in a tag line. These macro's will be
substituted respectively with the name of the addressee, the
first name, the last name or the subject.

If you want to use a specific tag line file for a template, then
you would assign a Section named in TMNICE.INI to the template by
adding ~TAGsection to the beginning of MsgStart in the appropriate
template specified in TM.CFG. The Section in TMNICE.INI would then
specify the template under the parameter "TagFile="

However, you have to make one small change to the TM.CFG file
before you can use this feature. TmNice must be told what these
names are and this is the way it goes. Go to the TM.CFG file
and edit the 'templates' section. Here is mine:

<more...>					 <back...>

Old version:
%
% International/English template
%
Template1
MsgStartHello @F!
MsgEnd@CR Greetings,@CR @YOU@CR@CR
MsgQuote@CROn @DATE, @FROM wrote to @TO about @SUBJECT

Now only the MsgStart line has to be changed to:
%	~~~~~~~~
Template1
MsgStart~TAGENGLISH ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHello @F!
MsgEnd@CR Greetings,@CR @YOU@CR@CR
MsgQuote@CROn @DATE, @FROM wrote to @TO about @SUBJECT


<more...>					<back...>
O.K. let's see:

Old: MsgStartHello @F!

New: MsgStart~TAGENGLISH ~TO@TO@ ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHello @F!
						^^^
						└─IMPORTANT!
So added are:~TAGENGLISH~TO@TO~F@F~L@L~S@SUBJECT @CR│
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^───┘
TerMail will write to the TM.MSG file the next two lines:

~TAGENGLISH ~TOJohn Williams ~FJohn ~LWilliams ~SBug in TmNice
Hi John Williams, how are you

TmNice does recognize the ~TAG, ~TO, ~F, ~L and ~S macro's and
after saving the information, these lines will NOT be
copied to the formatted reply message.

<more...>					<back...>
Later, while choosing a Tag Line with macro's in TmNice, the
macro's will be substituted. Here is an example. The next Tag
Lines:

Hey @TO! Good to see you in this area!
Say @F, do you like TmNice as much as I do?
It was nice talking to a member of the famous @L Family!
You are a real "@S" expert! ;-)

will show up as:

Hey John Williams! Good to see you in this area!
Say John, do you like TmNice as much as I do?
It was nice talking to a member of the famous Williams Family!
You are a real "TmNice Features" expert! ;-)

The ~S@SUBJECT macro is specifically used for the log file.

<more...>					 <back...>
So, by just adding:

~TAGname ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CR

to the front of each MsgStart line, you can use MACRO tag lines.

IF YOU USE TMN-CONF.EXE THEN ALL THIS WILL BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY

Now the AUTOMATIC selection of a specific tag line file:
--------------------------------------------------------

You can also specify which tag Group file to use for a SPECIFIC
Template in TerMail. The default tag line file is TMNICE.TAG.

The settings for each group are placed a special section in the
TMNICE.INI file <ini>. You can add an extra parameter to the
MsgStart Line : ~TAGxxxxx

<more...>					<back...>

Here is an example
For English messages I ordinarily use the tag lines fromthe
TMNICE.TAG file. But I also have a file with funny Dutch tag
lines, called DUTCH.TAG.

This file is in the same \TERMINAT\TERMAIL\TMNICE\ directory,
just like TMNICE.TAG. The only thing you have to add is
~TAG[section] e.g.

%
% Dutch template
%
Template10
MsgStartHallo @F @L!

is changed to:

<more...>					<back...>

%
% Dutch template
%
Template10
MsgStart~TAGDUTCH ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHallo @F @L!
	 ^^^^^^^^^

Now, the word DUTCH refers to the section [DUTCH] in the
TMNICE.INI file.



For more information, see the <ini> topic.

		DNF files
		---------

Some users have developed Templates in TerMail that provide the
'Subject'and the 'Greetings' part in a special way and as such
TmNice should be told NOT to format these lines.

The solution was found to create exclusion files and this version
of TmNice allows for both a general exclusion file called
TMNICE.DNF and an exclusion file for individual users that you
correspond with.

DNF stands for `Do Not Format'!





<more...>					 <back...>
		The GENERAL .DNF File

In TMNICE.DNF you can put lines of text which you wish excluded.
Here is the key. At position 1 of each line you place a 'L', a
'@' or a 'M'

'L' means : If there is a line in TM.MSG that matches precisely
	this line then Do Not Format.
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'@' means : If there is a line in TM.MSG containing this line
	then Do Not Format.	 ~~~~~~~~~~

'M' means : Mask the string off with a line in TM.MSG. If positions
	match then Do Not Format. Blanks in the Mask string are
	ignored.

Example: Dave likes to greet cordially:
<more...>					 <back...>
	Kind regards,
	Dave Wapstra.
	|__________________ Offset at column 15.
	|
	|... so with many spaces at the beginning of the
	|lines. He can now forbid TmNice to format
	|these lines by putting in TMNICE.DNF

By the way, the | symbol in physical column 2 is just to remind
you not to put anything in that column. The ruler shows that
column 1 begins one space extra after either the L or @ sign.
<more...>					 <back...>
Dave also likes to place the subject in a proper way:

 1-Mar-95, 12:00, Joop Blokker
wrote to : Dave Wapstra
Subject: Your Nice TagSCAN program!
|_______________________________________ Offset at column 8
	|
	|Now, in this case TmNice has to see whether the
	|positions match. Any blank position in the
	|search string is ignored in the comparison.

Now every line of text will automatically be searched for the
string that contains "wrote to :" starting on column 8. Any
other text in the message line is ignored.
Note that the search routine is case sensitive.

The whole TMNICE.DNF file will look like this:

		 REFORMATTING OF QUOTED TEXT
		 ---------------------------

TerMail does not format the quote lines in a proper way. Long lines
are split into
one long part and a short tail on the next line. This annoying
effect which
is simulated here, will be corrected by TmNice as best as possible.

TmNice formats paragraphs of normal AND quoted text in a much
improved way and lets you set a 'right margin' from column 40 to
column 79.

TmNice also gives you the option to NOT format a part of the text.
This feature is handy for tables, program listings etc.
See <noformat>

<more...>					 <back...>

If you CHANGE a message, before sending it, then TmNice will
not alter the hidden information lines.

You can specify complete 'exception' lines or strings. If these
lines or strings are present in the text, they will not be
altered.

These exceptions are placed either in the general file
TMNICE.DNF, or in a user specific file comprising the first
eight letters of the users name suffixed by .dnf.
e.g. JOOPBLOK.DNF for Joop Blokker.

DNF stands for 'Do Not Format .' This facility is handy if the
user uses intricate signature lines that you do not want to be
altered by TmNice.


						<back...>
			SIGNATURES
			----------

The signature features in this version is extended with some
additional macros.A signature file looks like this.

DatesFile=ENGLISH.DAT
Kind regards,
	@YOURNAME
	@YOURTOWN, @CDATE, @CTIME hrs.
	Fido: @YOURFIDO
	InterNet: @YOURINTERNET
	Home Page: @YOURHOMEPAGE

If "DatesFile=" is completed with a dates file name, then that
file will be used to convert the time and date figures into
words. Note in the above the use of @CDATE and @CTIME (both
TerMail macros) which can be included in this signature file.
<more...>					 <back...>


New features starting in version 4.0 of TmNice are macros that
are defined in the TMNICE.INI file only.

For this you best run TMN-CONF.EXE. You will be asked for your
Name, Town, Fido number, Internet number and Internet Homepage
URL.If any item is not applicable then simply leave the field
blank.

This data is stored in the TmNice macros @YOURNAME, @YOURTOWN,
@YOURFIDO, @YOURINTERNET and @YOURHOMEPAGE, as you can see in
the above example.

But there is more...



<more...>					 <back...>

Normally you place "Kind regards," or something like that in
the signature file. This never changing annoyed me a bit and
therefore I created an extra macro @BYE=.

Suffixed to '@BYE=' you can place the name of a file. If that file
is in the TMNICE directory, then just mentioning the file name is
sufficient. Otherwise you should enter the full drive and path
name. Now if you have a file with English lines called
ENGLISH.BYE you can put in a signature file instead of the normal
greeting:

@BYE=ENGLISH.BYE
	@YOURNAME
	@CDATE, @CTIME hrs - @YOURTOWN
	Fido: @YOURFIDO
	InterNet: @YOURINTERNET
	Home Page: @YOURHOMEPAGE
<more...>					 <back...>
(Note: there is no space between @BYE= and the file name)
The contents of the file ENGLISH.BYE could be like:

Kind regards,	─┐
Take care @TO!	│____ Do not make these lines
Byebye for now.	│longer than 70 characters.
TTYL @F!		─┘

... and so on. There is an example file in the package.
TmNice will pick a line at random from the file ENGLISH.BYE and
the line containing @BYE=ENGLISH.BYE will be replaced completely.
If you use this feature, then do not put other words in the
@BYE=ENGLISH.BYE line in the signature file. Also be careful that
identical "greetings" lines that may be found in your bye file
are excluded from the signature file itself. While TmNice proposes
an at random picked line you still have the option to select a
different one. Also, by pressing Escape you can leave out the
goodbye line.
<more...>					 <back...>

Do NOT use the @BYE= macro in the MsgStart line of the Templates
in TM.CFG (I know you are very inventive..!) This will give
problems because the whole line is replaced by the line that is
picked from the xxx.BYE file.

A date file is explained in more depth in <DATES>.

If the user wishes a signature to be added automatically to a
message then the fields

	Signature=YES
	SigFile=MYSIG.SIG

must both be completed in the [Section] part of TMNICE.INI. The
Section specified in TMNICE.INI must then be added to the
appropriate template line in TM.CFG e.g.(see next screen...)

<more...>					 <back...>




Template1
MsgStart~TAGCLIVE ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHi @F,@CR
MsgEnd@CR
MsgQuote@DATE @TIME, @FROM wrote to @TO@CRSubject: @SUBJECT
where [clive] is the Section name in TMNICE.INI.


A signature file need not end with the suffix "SIG", but the user
should be aware that when Signature is selected from the TmNice
tag screen, the directory listing which appears will ONLY show
files having the .SIG extension.



<more...>					 <back...>

So, if you have in say [Netmail] section within TMNICE.INI a

	 SignatureFile=USA.FIL

and that Section is being used by the selected template within
TerMail this file suffixed *.FIL will not show up.

You are best advised to use to suffix your signature files
with .SIG.



If you press on [Escape] in the directory box, then the signature
file is detached, so no signature will be added to your message.
You see a message to warn you of that.


<more...>					 <back...>

There are many things these signatures can be used for. For
example you can make a complete order form or 'Application Form'
in the signature file. Then if someone applies by netmail the
'Application Form' signature file can be added to the reply just
by choosing it from the directory box in TmNice. No hassle with
importing the application form text into the netmail anymore.

Another idea adopted by one other testers was to use the
signature for sending Christmas greetings by Netmail and so there
are many things you can use the signature file for; maybe you can
think up a good use and tell us about it.

Variable Hello
--------------
If you have installed TmNice and it runs to your satisfaction
then you might think of using the new 'Variable Hello' feature.

	Stuffkeyboard PARAMETER IN TMNICE.INI
	-------------------------------------

This Main section parameter determines whether the character "N"
is stuffed into the keyboard if you cancel a message using the
cancel facility within both the main TmNice tag menu and the
AskBefore menu.

This "N" character can save the user having to manually enter
"N" in answer to TerMail's redundant question "Save message? Y/N"

This feature may not work on all pc's and keyboards, however it
works on my pc and those of all testers.





						<back...>
		Tables or Program Listings:
		--------------------------
If you write a message, including a table or a program listing,
then you can force TmNice to skip from formatting a number of
lines by prefixing the text with /* and ending the text with */;
for example

/*
...
... table lines
...
*/

TmNice will just copy the lines between these two commands
without any formatting. If the receiver also uses TmNice, he will
be grateful if you use these commands before and after say a
table or a program listing. If you have a signature you want to
protect you could also use this facility.
<more...>					 <back...>
For easy remembering of these commands, you can also use:
following commands in square brackets: []

[begin table] [start table] [fmt off] [listing on][begin listing]
[end table][end table][fmt on][listing off] [end listing]

or those command in parenthesis: ()

(begin table) (start table) (fmt off) (listing on)(begin listing)
(end table)(end table)(fmt on)(listing off) (end listing)

But for the short way - use the 'C'-language Comment Out:

/*= no formatting starting this line
*/= start formatting again at the next line

ALL THESE COMMANDS HAVE THE SAME EFFECT: Switching Off and On the
(re)formatting.
						<back...>
			 TAG LINES
			 ---------
The TAG LINE feature allows you to add a funny and friendly 'tag'
line to your message. Tom Strickler once wrote in a message:

- Notice at the end of my message I have a Tagline from Joop
- Blokker's TMNICE program that will add little thoughts on
- life, philosophy, humour, words of wisdom, or just plain
- silliness.

... and in my opinion, this was the best description of a tag
line, I ever read... :-)

With TmNice there are several ways in which you can select your
desired tag line. First, you can choose from 10 randomly selected
Tag Lines or from your the top-ten favourite tag lines.


<more...>					 <back...>
You can search for any word or words like 'computer' or
'Microsoft windows'. No fuzzy logic is applied, so the "Find"
feature will look for all tag lines containing the word you
enter, or if you enter a string of words then the tag line must
match the complete string. The find feature does ignore 'case',
so if you enter "CATS", then tag lines containing "cats" will be
included. If there are more than 10 tag lines found, then you can
"Find more".

You can have TmNice automatically select and insert a tag line by
specifying "AutoTag" in the Section parts of TMNICE.INI.

TmNice also gives you the opportunity to 'steal' the tagline
from a message, which you are replying to. The stolen line is added
to the selected tag line file, after a check for duplicates is
made. This routine does have some "fuzzy" logic applied so checks
are made for tag lines that are nearly the same.

<more...>					 <back...>


During the comparison non-alphabetical characters are filtered
out, so 'Hi Boss, how are you...?' and 'Hi! Boss... how are you?'
are considered to be the same, and the stolen tag is not added.

With TmNice you can use Macro tag lines. This means that you can
put TerMail macros @YOU, @TO, @F, @L, @S, @CDATE and @CTIME in a
tag line. These macro's in the message will be substituted
respectively with your name, the name of the addressee, the first
name, the last name, the subject, the system date and the system
time.

Also the TmNice macros@YOURTOWN, @YOURFIDO, @YOURINTERNET and
@YOURHOMEPAGE are handled the same way.



<more...>					 <back...>
When presented with the TmNice master tag screen, you can load
different tag line files. You can have as many tag line files as
you want. Examples of the use of different tag files, would be
to have categories of tag lines, e.g. cats, dogs, software or tag
files having tag lines in different languages.

If TmNice finds a tagline is already present in the message then
the Tag master menu screen will not appear. TmNice recognizes
it's own tagline by the .!. marker at the start of the tagline.
TmNice doesn't add a tag line either, if it finds a tear line.
This is because TmNice cannot decide whether a tag line was or
wasn't wanted.

In the Template part of TM.CFG (the configuration file for
TerMail) you ought to add a ~TAGxxxxxx name to the beginning of
each MsgStart line. This facility enables you to customise the
use of both TmNice and TerPGP to individual templates, and
therefore to individual echo areas.
<more...>					 <back...>

Once you have defined the ~TAGxxxx labels in TM.CFG, you can
set up and maintain the TMNICE.INI file fast and easily by
running the TMN-CONF.EXE program.














<more...>					 <back...>
Example: I have an echo area called cooking_nl. This echo area is
for Dutch speaking users only. So at Template # 10 I've put
~TAGDUTCH-COOK, and in TMNICE.INI (see <INI>)

[DUTCH_COOK]	% MsgStart line is ~TAGDUTCH-COOK
Reformat=YES
AskBefore=YES
AddTagLine=YES
AutoTag=NO				▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
TagFile=D:\TERMINAT\TERMAIL\TMNICE\DUSTUFF.TAG▌All these▐

TerPGPMenu=NO			▌ TMN-CONF.EXE ▐
HighAscii=YES			▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Log=YES
<more...>					 <back...>
whenever template # 10 is used then the tag lines from
DUTSTUFF.TAG are presented. If autotag is set to yes, the a
random tag from DUTSTUFF.TAG will be used. But note also that the
dates will be changed to the Dutch language because DUTCH.DAT has
been specified as the DatesFile. Also my signature in Dutch will
be used because I specified DUTSTUFF.SIG as the signature file.

Included with TMNICE42.ZIP are some sample tag files

TMNICE.TAG- my favourite collection
DUTCH.TAG- to keep in touch with the Dutch
GERMAN.TAG- \
LATIN.TAG-\__ kindly donated by TmNice users.
SPANISH.TAG -/
FRENCH.TAG- /
CATS.TAG- tag lines about cats
DOGS.TAG- tag lines about dogs
EXAMPLE.TAG - tag lines showing macro tags, and multi line tags
<more...>					 <back...>

Please, note that for this version all tag files must be suffixed
'tag' e.g. EXAMPLE.TAG. In the directory box only files with the
.TAG extension will show up.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple line tag lines are
accepted. Please see EXAMPLE.TAG for some examples. The line
delimiter to be used is /n, meaning 'new line'. Take care that no
space before and after /n is needed. Here is one example:-

Hi, everybody/nThis is the second line./nThis is the third line.

this will look like this when inserted by TmNice:-

.!. Hi, everybody
.!. This is the second line.
.!. This is the third line.

<more...>					 <back...>

Also if you already have a tag line containing the /n string,
then be prepared that the tag line will now will be handled as a
line break. If you are unsure you should edit the tag file and
search for all /n occurrences.

Be warned that some moderators might not like multiple tag lines.
See <warning>

	CREATING NEW TAG LINES
	----------------------

If you have a tagline file in plain Ascii of your own, then you
can add your file to say TMNICE.TAG by typing from the DOS
prompt:

TYPE MYTAGS.TAG >> TMNICE.TAG[Enter]

If, however, you are not yet ready to switch from your current tag-
line program, then use the TMNICE.INI Section parameter

AddTagLine=No

this will prevent TmNice from getting a tag line. TmNice can
still be used to add signatures and reformat the quoted message.

<more...>					 <back...>
Tag lines can be of any length. and TmNice can edit tag lines
greater than 67. However, if you have such long tag lines then
you should break these lines using /n manually.

There are two other ways of creating new tag lines. First, in the
main Tmnice screen there is an option to insert a new tag line.
You simply type what you require without the leading .!. Second
way is to edit an existing tag line and change some words, or to
steal a tagline from the message you selected in TerMail. The
steal a tagline can also steal a line that is not currently a tag
line and convert it into a tag line.

If the idea of stealing current tag lines appeals to you then you
will find TagScan very useful as this can run through all your
message base stealing all lines that appear as tag lines,
creating a file which you can then add manually to TmNice's tag
files (see the documentation on TagScan).

						<back...>
		WHAT IS TagScan
		---------------

TagScan is a program, written by Dave Wapstra, that will scan
TerMail's MSG/JAM message base for taglines. Whereas TmNice can
steal one tag line at a time, and from one message at a time,
TagScan is a real 'robber'. It scans and steals tag lines from
messages in any area. This is a real bonus for TmNice users!
 
In order that TagScan does not find the tags already in TmNice
tag files,run:
 
tagscan -a tmnice.tag
 
and repeat substituting tmnice.tag for each tag file that you
have. For further details see the files TAGSCAN.DOC and
EXAMPLE.BAT which are part of the TagScan archive.

<more...>					 <back...>

If you want to remove duplicate tag lines that might have been
imported in a tag line file because you simply added the contents
of a tag line file to TMNICE.TAG with the DOS command:

type TAGS.NEW >> TMNICE.TAG(PLEASE NOTE THE DOUBLE '>>' !!!)

then this can be done very simple by running the 'Sort Tag Line'
option from TmNice's Menu 2. The TmNice sort routine will always
remove exact duplicates.

		WHAT IS TerPGP
		--------------
TerPGP is an interface for PGP. It requires the user to have the
PGP program (generally available on their local BBS's). TerPGP is
a front end for PGP and without PGP this program is not very
useful. Read the PGP docs (TERPGP.DOC or read PGPQUICK.DOC which
should be in the same archive as you installed TerPGP.)

If you wish to use TerPGP in conjunction with TmNice, then there
is no need to assign TerPGP to afteredit (as set out in the
TerPGP docs). Rather you are advised to assign TagScan to ShiftF1
i.e.:
 
Add TerPGP to your External Utils list in TM.CFG. For example:

ShiftF1TerPGP !MSG
This is very useful to use when you see a collared PGP message.

<more...>					 <back...>

	Group Section-TerPGPMenu
	-----------------------------
This section parameter determines whether the Menu of Dave
Wapstra's TerPGP is shown or not. Valid entries are YES or NO.

If YES, then the forcemenu parameter is used when calling TerPGP.
If NO, then if TerPGP is called the user would need to hold down
either shift, alt or ctrl within the specified default time in
order to see the menu screen (see the TerPGP documentation).

The user should be aware that this parameter is somewhat
independent from CallTERPGP For example, even if CallTerPGP is
set to "NO" then TerPGPMenu will still affect the display of
TerPGP's menu if TmNice detects a PGP message and proposes the
link button to TerPGP which is then accepted. For in that event
when the message has been edited, TmNice will again call TerPGP
(irrespective of the CallTERPGP status).
						<back...>
TSE "The Semware Editor" Macro for cancelling messages
------------------------------------------------------
	Written by Marco Zehe for TMNICE 4.x.


If you have TSE "The Semware Editor" then unpack TSEMACRO.ZIP.
This macro creates the TMNICE.CAN semaphore file. Just edit the
EditorParam= line in TMNICE.INI to include the following (example):

EditorParam=-eTMNICE\tmnice -n5

The -e parameter tells TSE which macro to use (no extension
necessary), and the -n parameter lets it jump to line 5 when the
message is loaded. The relative path "TMNICE\" is required because
the current directory when editing a message is the Termail home
directory. If you don't like it, then copy TMNICE.MAC to the
TERMAIL directory.

<more...>					 <back...>


Now, you only have to press F3 (unused in the standard TSE
configuration) to cancel the message. If you need to change the
key, change the statement between 'smaller than' and 'greater than'
signs in the very last line of this file to something like <CTRL
F7> or any other unused key in your configuration. Then press
CTRL-F9 to recompile the macro.


Have fun!







						<back...>

	UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF TMNICE
	------------------------------------------

Just like first time users you should run the configuration
program TMN-CONF.EXE from the TMNICE directory. This program will
create the file TMNICE.INI and it will modify the file TM.CFG for
you.

DO NOT WORRY! TMN-CONF.EXE creates back-up files of TMNICE.INI
and TM.CFG. At any time you can restore your initial set-up. Once
you are satisfied with your new set-up, you can delete the
back-up files.

With the help of TMN-CONF.EXE you practically do not have to
change or modify anything by hand. However, if you want to modify
the file TMNICE.INI at a later moment

In previously (up to version 2.3) TmNice was called by the use of
EDITOR.BAT which was placed in the directory of TMAIL.EXE or
TM.EXE. Starting with TmNice version 3.0 calls the editor
directly and therefore there is no need for EDITOR.BAT anymore.
Please delete EDITOR.BAT.

From this version all tag line files must have the extension of
.TAG. Therefore rename any tag files to the TAG suffix.

TmNice can no longer be called on the command line with
parameters except /HELP to call the Help, /SORT to sort the
TerMail addressbook file TM.ADRT and /LOG to view the TMNICE.LOG
file.

In earlier versions of TmNice (up to version 2.3) it was
acceptable to add a ~TAGfile key word at the beginning of a
template, thus defaulting to a specified tag FILE.

<more...>					 <back...>

This use has changed from this version 3.0, and the key word no
longer refers to a Tag file but to a ~TAGsection; the [SECTION]
being defined in TMNICE.INI (see <ini>.HLP).

Also an extra macro is added to the MsgStart line in
TM.CFG: ~S@SUBJECTThis macro is used for a new feature
of TmNice: it can automatically create and maintain a log
file of all your messages and replies. Your MsgStart should
look like:

MsgStart~TAGNETMAIL ~TO@TO ~F@F ~L@L ~S@SUBJECT @CRHi @F!@CR
	^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^

Just like the ~TO@TO etcetera parameters, you can use
the new ~S@SUBJECT parameter in taglines and signatures.
This parameter is represented by '@S', see the example
tag line file.

		WARNING !!!
		-----------

TmNice provides for multiple line tag lines, and unlimited length
signature files. However, BE WARNED, that some moderators of echo
areas do not approve of over indulgence. So always check the echo
rules first. If there is a limit on the use of tags or signature
lines, you will have to assign an appropriate tag file and
signature file to a [Section] in TMNICE.INI, and ensure that
templates used for those echoes point to that [Section].




<more...>					 <back...>


Equally there is no limit within TmNice to the use of high and
low Ascii.

And again BE WARNED that some echoes do not allow high Ascii. So
that the same signature files can be used for echoes that do and
do not allow high Ascii, TmNice can automatically convert common
high Ascii characters into standard Ascii.

		WHAT IS TMNICE

TmNice is a third party add-on to TerMail 4.0 (part of the
communication software Terminate 4.0).
TmNice sets out to provide the following:-

- a reformatter: TerMail does not reformat perfectly
- a Tag line manager: adds, steals, organizes tag lines.
- a Signature manager : adds a signature to a message
- a Log File manager: maintains a log of your messages.

This version of TmNice is engineered to work with version 4.0 of
TerMail (the latest release as at May 1996) and consequently
references herein are to that program and its configuration
files. Nevertheless, in so far as possible TmNice should be
backward compatible with earlier versions of TerMail. If you are
not using TerMail 3.0 or 4.0 you should be aware that in version
3.0 TMAIL.CFG became TM.CFG and TMAIL.EXE became TM.EXE.
<more...>					 <back...>
If you are upgrading from a former TmNice then please read
the <upgrade> topic, because several things have changed in
the way TmNice works with TerMail.

Included with the TmNice archive is the other excellent add-in
programs TagScan. TagScan is a stand alone program which steals
taglines from messages stored in Jam and MSG echo areas.In
addition the user is recommended to download separately the
TerPGP archive.

TerPGP is a front-end program to PGP (Pretty Good Privacy).
Whilst TerPGP can be used on its own or in conjunction with
TerMail directly, TmNice has been optimized to call TerPGP as
you direct or automatically when detecting the presence of
certain PGP messages. To use TerPGP the user would have to have
already installed PGP. For sources for PGP read the
documentation accompanying TerPGP.

		REFORMATTING OF QUOTED TEXT
		---------------------------

TerMail does not format the quote lines in a proper way. Long
lines are
split into one long part and a short tail on the next line. This
annoying
effect which is simulated here, will be corrected by TmNice as
best as possible.

TmNice formats paragraphs of normal AND quoted text in a much
improved way and lets you set a 'right margin' from column 40 to
column 79.

TmNice also gives you the option to NOT format a part of the text.
This feature is handy for tables, program listings etc.

<more...>					 <back...>

If you CHANGE a message, before sending it, then TmNice will
not alter the hidden information lines.

You can specify complete 'exception' lines or strings. If these
lines or strings are present in the text, they will not be
altered.

These exceptions are placed either in the general file
TMNICE.DNF, or in a user specific file comprising the first
eight letters of the users name suffixed by .dnf.
e.g. JOOPBLOK.DNF for Joop Blokker.

DNF stands for 'Do Not Format .' This facility is handy if the
user uses intricate signature lines that you do not want to be
altered by TmNice.
