CAVEAT:  BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM, BACK UP YOUR USER.LST FILE JUST IN CASE!

This program is only good for TAG version 2.6, though upgrades would be
insanely easy if I can get a copy of the record structure.
                                     

Welcome to what I hope to be a series of utilities for T.A.G. BBS software.
This is my first so be gentle.  The purpose of TGCE is to modify users color
settings all at once... useful for when you finally get that "just right" 
color scheme but you've got hundreds of users with different settings already.
 
Before running TGCE, first set the NEW USER record up for the colors you
want to change everyone else to.  This is done via the user editor of TAG.

To use the utility, first chose "LOAD FILE".  Actually it doesnt load the 
file, it just looks at the color settings for record 0 (the NEW USER settings)
and finds how many records are in the file.  It also creates a backup file
in the working directory called TGCE.BAK which can be used in case TGCE
totally screws up your user.lst file!
 
Second, if you want to only change a range of user records, you can enter
that range in the "WHO TO CHANGE" area.  Otherwise TGCE will change all user
records.

Now you're ready to do the actual change.  Hit CHANGE and TGCE will modify 
your user.lst file so that all users colors match those of the NEW USER record.

Exit the program and if all went well, you should be able to test the colors
out.  If there is a problem, copy the TGCE.BAK file back to the USER.LST file.
 
The UNDO function is basically a waste of time as it will only work if you
have not exited the utility, but if for some bizarre reason you want to 
reverse the changes you just made, UNDO will restore the old version.

Wanna send me some $?  Im always happy to get $ in the mail.  If not, I wont
go suing your butt off, but a little something might entice me to keep writing
these things.  Send $5 or so to:

              Boca Raton, FL 33428

 
This is just a quicky release, hopefully future releases will make it so you
don't have to change the NEW USER colors.  BTW, if you can't figure out how
to do that, it is the \ from the User Editor menu, then type '.
