LICENSE AGREEMENT:
This is a Shareware product. You are entitled to use the software for an
indefinite amount of time. Registering will allow you to use more than
the internal predefined boarders, and access to the Sysop Tools. Registering
will also remove the nasty pauses.
I encourage you to distribute this software among your friends, but there
some conditions will apply. The conditions are, 1. You must include all
files. 2.You may not give out your registration code (Not that it would
be any good on another BBS).
Use of this product constitutes your acceptance of these terms and
conditions and your agreement to abide by them.
You are allowed to run multiple copies as long as each copy running is
connected via LAN, Multi-tasker or other means to allow operation on only
one BBS. Each BBS must register its own copy.

DESCRIPTION.
This is a Program that I made to replace WWIV's automessage. My
program allows more then WWIV's 30X3 messages (30 letters long 3
lines long)It replaced it with a 70X5 (70 letters long 3 lines
long + two boarders).This is done with no (required)modification
to the BBS source. But you can add a small mod to make using the
automessage maker easier for your users. But this is optional and
not required.
