    Anyone know how to post an ANSI file from the HD to this ANSI art sub?

    In mystic it had to be 79 columns or less. I wasn't sure if there are specific requirements. Also, I forget how to post a .ans file to a message.

    In addition, is there an "event" editor that allows me to auto post a BBS ad say once a month?

    I don't believe there is a feature like that, but maybe you could use the OS's scheduler to do that?

    Hmm .. yes I could even use Mystic to schedule an event to post an ansi file, the question then I would wonder is where within the WWIV directory, and how would WWIV know to hatch it out to a specific subboard? I know I can manually upload a file but .. automating the process was something I at least wanted to see if I could do, if for anything, future projects similar to how Meatlotion sends the MRC weekly meet up ANSI reminder, or Paulie420's Doom event, or I suppose a BBS ad.
