[ Sorry about XSig 1.0; there was a bug in the STDERR handling
  that I accidentally introduced during the "make" for the
  release. *sigh* ]



XSig V1.1
=========

Program and documentation are (C) Copyright 1994 by Jürgen Weinelt.

IMPORT StdDisclaimer; (* in short: use it at your own risk *)
XSig was carefully tested, but there's certainly plenty of room for bugs.

XSig is Freeware, non-commercial distribution is o.k. as long as the
following conditions are met:

  * Source, executable and documentation must be distributed together and
    these files must be intact (you're not allowed to make changes).
    You're NOT allowed to add files to the archive.

  * This program may be included on PD/freeware CDs if I am allowed to
    order one of those CDs at 50% off the retail price (or cheaper :).
    Of course a free copy of the CD would be even nicer...

    Exception: Fred Fish has UNCONDITIONAL permission to add this
    program version to his library, no matter if he's distributing it
    on floppy disk or on CD.



XSig requires AmigaOS V37 or later (that's 2.04 or later).



Purpose
=======
XSig forms a news/mail signature by combining a fixed (name, address)
and a variable (cookie, funny quote) part. Both parts are selected
depending on a keyword ("group name").



Examples
--------
Call "XSig GROUP <groupname> NEXTSIG QUIET" to get a cookie.

Use "XSig >>article ..." to append the signature to a posting.

Look at the "XSIGEDIT" script. Ideally you just need to set
this as "NEWSEDITOR" in your "uulib:config" file.

Put "XSig >uulib:.sig-of-the-day ..." into a crontab to get a new
signature periodically.
