GENERAL INTRODUCTION


 The ANSI Art Gallery (AAG) will allow your users to upload their favorite
ANSI's for other to see.
 
 The AAG has the following features:

        * Five Seperate Galleries for User displays.
        
        * Users can choose what gallery they wish to upload to.
        
        * After the upload is complete users can see their upload, then 
          choose if they want to save it.
        
        * Users can mark their exhibit for deletion. 
          ** NOTE ** The SYSOP has to purge the database from the SYSOP module
          to remove the entry.
        
        * Users can download TheDraw, a favorite ANSI design program.

        * SYSOPs can mark any exhibit for deletion, then purge the database. 
        
        * SYSOPs can modify the text for the gallery definitions.
        
        * The contest text file is a SYSOP editable file that the users can 
          view.



 The DEMO version is limited in the follwing ways.

        * Only 2 galleries are availible for use

        * Both SYSOPs and users can mark files for deletion, but they can not
          purge the databases.
