+ Background and Flashing Colours are now available. You can also use
default codes like "|!!", "|!F", or "|8!". See the section on "Sicknews
Colour Codes" in SICKNEWS.DOC for the new format.
+ You can now add up to 9 blank lines at the end of each bulletin.
+ You can put "####" codes into the News Header, which display the total
number of bulletins in the Sicknews.Txt file.
+ You get a little more info on whats happening when you run SICKNEWS.EXE.
* PCB Support didnt work in version 3.40, for a really simple reason, which
was fixed in this version.
* Rewrote the ANSi routines to accomodate Background and Flashing colours.

+ PCBoard Support! This includes all the options which previously affected
the ANSi output file. I included PCBoard support because I switched over
to PCB myself, and many PCB sysops had requested this. Of course, sysops
running systems other than PCB are not disadvantaged in any way. PCBoard
Support can be disbled easily by setting Newscfg > Toggles > PCB to "NO".
+ As of this version, registration is FREE by calling the SICK WHQ.
See the Registration Info in SICKNEWS.DOC.
* other minor cosmetic changes and bug fixes.

+ Ability to Indent your News Text [ANSi].

Colour into your news bulletins.
+ You are now able to enter ANY filename as your Output files, rather than
just SICKNEWS.A??. Eg: You might rather NEWS.ANS.
+ If you hit INSERT when Entering a String in NEWSCFG.EXE, you may type over
the previous characters. Also you can hit Ctrl Left/Right to move from word
to word.
* Registration Info included.
* MUCH MUCH MUCH faster ANSi routines and output display.

informative and helpful in understanding the format of your news file.

+ Ablility to add ";" comments to your SiCKNEWS.TXT file so that you can have
bulletins in your text which are NOT displayed in your output files.
+ Ability to disregard all Color Codes and display the news text in your
output ANSi file in "Kewl" colors, iE. The color of Uppercase letters can
be different to the colour of the lower case letters, etc. This format can
slow down the display of your news file.
+ Ability to Clear the Screen before the entire news file, so that if you have
no News Header, you can still clear the screen before the bulletins begin.
* Huge bug fix. There was a problem with the "Color of the Enter String" for
the ANSi output, which caused problems in your ANSi file.
* Another Major bugfix. Sometimes you lost the last line of your news text
in the last bulletin.. and sometimes lost the whole last bulletin.
* In the ASCii outputs, "!!!" would bring up the Total amount of bulletins,
and "###" would bring up the number of the current bulletin when it should
have been the other way round.
* Small Bug Fix. If you put two or more color codes beside each other,
Eg."Yeah |05|09cool", the output would be "Yeah |09cool".
* Other minor changes.
