SAYINGS is a *free* program that displays a "message for the day" in
a window on your screen until you press a key to make it go away.  It
gets its "sayings" from an easily-modified text file called SAYINGS.DAT
that can reside anywhere in your DOS path.  If you have your own quotes
that you'd like to add to the file, you can do so with any text editor,
just remember two simple rules:  the window that displays the message
will resize itself to the longest line included in the message, where
line endings are indicated by a "|" character.  The end of each message
is indicated by an end of line, or carriage return, in the file.  If I
didn't explain that clearly enough, just open up SAYINGS.DAT and take a
look, I'm sure it'll be pretty apparent to you.

This program is provided to you as freeware, mostly because I'm tired of
seeing people trying to make money off of trivial "message of the day"
programs, *especially* the ones that display obnoxious messages with
lots of long beeps telling you that you should send all your money to
someone who just figured out how to use their compiler.  This program
is at least as good, features easily customized messages, and it's free!

This program carries no warranty of any kind, use at your own risk; the
author will not be held responsible for any damages to your system caused
by use of the program, though it would be truly interesting to hear how
someone could possibly hurt themselves with something as harmless as
this.  No upgrades or revisions to this program are planned, but if
you have comments or whatever drop me a line.
