Introduction :

         This is the first public release of this ansi viewer so I know its
going to be pretty plain and all but everyone has to start somewhere right?
This isn't going to be much of a documentation here because the program
is self explanatory and its pretty late <Yawn>.  Basically this ansi viewer
works just like any other, I recommend you put it in your Dos path so you can
call it up in any directory, then you goto wherever your ansi's are located
and run the program.

Commands/How To Use:

F = Changes the file mask.

T = Toggles which screen resolution to use (More will be added later.)

* = Sets the Viewer Speed at the fastest setting, this has no delay and will
display the ansi/avatar file as fast as your computer will allow.

/ = Sets the Viewer Speed at the lowest setting, this has much delay and will
display the ansi/avatar file at a very slow rate.

+ = Increments the Viewer Speed by 1.

- = Decreases the Viewer Speed by 1.

Enter = Displays current File.

Space = Switches Directory views (not set up quite right yet).

Escape = Quit the Program.

NOTE: If you hit any key while a file is being displayed it will automaticly
abort.

Upgrades on Next Versions:

- Rip Graphics Display.

- Gif/PCX Display.

- Support SAUCE (ACiD's Description system)

- File Descriptions on list, & the ability to choose how you want the list
  to be displayed.

- Choices in how you want the viewer to look (Different interfaces).

- Slide shows, where you tag which files you would like to view and it shows
  them all one after another.

- Scrollback, so you can look back at an ansi.

- Baud rate simulations (No 0 - 99 speeds like I have now)

- Change the command interface, either with some kind of menu (ie. Pulldowns,
  or a help screen so i don't have to cram everything on the scren.)

- I'm sure i can think of 100's of other things to add as I go along.

If you have any suggestions/comments/bugs for me leave feedback on either
