Setting up Announce! is relatively simple (I hope :) )
YOU must edit/create the following files...
ANNOUNCE.DAT - Straight TextFile, structure is as follows...
1 -line 1 Number of MSG.x files MUST match the number of MSG.x's!
ANSI -line 2 Either ANSI or WWIV
NO -line 3 Either YES or NO
Explainations -
Line 1 - Each announcement shown must be edited in its
OWN file. The first message is MSG.1, second
is MSG.2, third is MSG.3, and so on... The structure
of these files shown later in this doc.
Line 2 - If set to WWIV, Announce will create and show a file
with the WWiV Color Codes... 1, 2, etc.. If set
to ANSI, Announce will create and ANSi or ASCii file,
depending on the callers setting.
Line 3 - If set to YES, Announce will pause on the 24th line
while displaying the Announcement File. If set to
NO, Announce will NOT pause the display.
MSG.x - Straight TextFile, structure is as follows...
5 line 1 - Number of message lines
Just installed DreamWARE's ANNOUNCE! line 2 - 11 - actual message lines
You're looking at it now!

Please Help your Sysop Register Announce v1.0!
Thank You!
Explainations -
Line 1 - The number of lines in the message. MUST be between 1
and 10 !
Line 2 - 11 - The actual message lines. MUST be 70 characters or less,
else things will look HORRIBLE! Everything after Line 11
will be ignored!
MSG.x NOTES - If you delete a MSG.x file, you MUST take up the slack!
Example - Say you have 4 MSG.x files and you delete MSG.2,
you'll need to do this...
ren MSG.3 MSG.2
ren MSG.4 MSG.3
Otherwise, when it looks for MSG.2, Announce!
will quit-out with an Error!
Welp, that should get you going... Enjoy!
