===============

After this version , I really don't have much to do but i will find new things 
to add. Right now i can think of the following minor improvements :

  Auto-detecting ANSI animation.
  Reading files from archives.
  More surprises...

The most recent versions of ATYPE may be found in a lot of BBSs but 
especially in the following BBSs which I call often (ordered alphabetically) :

  Hard Rock Cafe               03-9677322
  The Crazy Horse              03-9360495

All of these BBS are in Israel (972).

TIPS
====

I advise to you all that you will put ATYPE in a utility directory with a
path, and then every time you wanna view a text/ansi file - instead of the
dos command TYPE write ATYPE - this will make ATYPE useful, and your lives
easier.

Hope you'll find ATYPE useful,
