I.
******* Why this program? *******
This program was made for a simple reason. I was getting tired of
ASCII file telling me names and phone numbers of different boards around the
nation, and not telling me anything about the board itself.
I got sick of calling a board just to find out that they didn't have
anything that I was interested in.
So here it is the ANSI advertizment program for different boards.
This program offers more than just a list of boards, it offers a full page
of what the board is about. No more surprises when you call a board. This
program offers a complete description of different boards..
II.
******* How to Use this program. *******
This program is very easy to use, as long as you have the ANSI.SYS
loaded in your Config.sys file, and have arrow keys and a space bar you have
it made. If you don't, see a keyboard sells person.
The only real feature you need to know about is the selection menu.
'S' gets you into that area, then you can press the space bar by all the
options you are looking for in a Board. then press return and it will give you
a list of boards that meat you standards. You will notice at the top that
there is a Total number of boards and a Total number selected. This is just
to give you an idea of what i have so far.
If you know of a board that you would like to add to the program talk
to your sysop and tell him about this program.
III.
******* How do I get my Advertisement in here? *******
Well here you are, a SysOp of a board that would like to get your ANSI
screen added to the board. Well that is an easy process.
First fill out the QUESTION.DOC file and then ZIP or ARJ that file with
you ANSI screen and upload it to my board:

******* Questions and Answers *******
Q) What do I need to run this program?
A) All you really need to run this program is ANSI.SYS loaded into you
Config.sys file. A color monitor might be nice, but is not required.
Q) The program says "File Error" when I try to load one of the ANSI screens.
A) This means that someone was trying to "modify" this program, and or
you do not have the complete listing. Cantact me and let me know, I will
also send you out the newest release.
Q) I would like to get the newest release but don't know where to look.
A) You can call my board 24 hours a day and get the latest release.

program in future versions. I am thinking of being about to use .GIF
