NOTICE BOARD V2.2
                                    from

Thankyou for downloading NOTICE BOARD.  This shareware version is pre-loaded
with a set of notices which explain the product and provide some ideas for
its use.  The simplest way to get to know it is simply to run it.

Just before you do, you should check that your CONFIG.SYS file, probably
located in the top level directory of your C drive, has a line similar to
the following:

files=21

If the number of files is greater than 21, go ahead and run the package.  If
the number is less or no such line exists, modify/add the line as above, then
reboot the PC since the CONFIG.SYS file only comes into effect when the PC
is booted.

Now run the package by changing directory to the directory in which you 
loaded the files and typing NOTICE

If you have any difficulties loading or running Notice Board, look first in
the manual (NOTICE.DOC).  If the answer is not there, free technical support
is available directly from the developers.  See Appendix 1 in the manual.
