No idea where I got it, google searches produce anything but

Kewl beans, thanks! I've saved a decent copy of it. It works very
well. I even spent the time to convert all of my tag lines over
to the way in which it works. Now, I have over 8000 of them.
Thanks again!


8000!!!! I'd ask to see yours, but I think that would use an
entire day going through them all.


Yep, over 8000. And I can easily add more now. I didn't convert these
files over by hand mind you, I wrote a tiny 23kilobyte self contained
(portable, no installer, no runtime dlls, etc needed) win32PE
executable to take any text file and convert it's contents to a
taglines friendly 'database' file. So you can make taglines as long
as you want them, with upto 32767 characters per line; I can increase
the max characters per line, but, I thought 32k was more than
sufficient.

It only considers the tagline complete when it reads the crlf at the
end so that's where it does the break for the taglines database.
So, I was able to rogue the database from a couple of other tagline
programs and my own that was DOS based that required additional steps
to work on linux and converted them all to the much easier to use
taglines program. Now I have a 600something kilobyte taglines
database. It even has a copy of the ones you sent me.


You shoulda checked them first, some are very rude :-)
