//////////////////
//    Files
//////////////////
1.) admin.php
2.) news.inc.php
3.) news.php
4.) template.htm 
5.) news.dat
6.) readme.txt
7.) license.txt

//////////////////
// Requirements
//////////////////
- PHP4

//////////////////
// Installation
//////////////////
1. Open "admin.php" and "news.php", in a TEXT-ONLY editor. Notepad or any
other editor will suffice. Do not use an HTML editor or Word.

  Edit the lines that read:
     $digiNewsPath = '/path/to/digi-news/news.dat';
     require '/path/to/digi-news/news.inc.php';

You should change the absolute paths to mirror your directory structure. It
is recommended that you place news.dat in a directory not accessible from
the web.

2.) Edit "template.htm" to match the look and feel of your web site. This
file is used to render the display of an individual news entry.

3.) Upload all files into a directory named digi-news. All files should be
uploaded in ASCII mode. It is recommended that you place news.dat in a
directory not accessible from the web, so not in the directory digi-news.

4.) On UNIX-like operating systems, CHMOD news.dat 777.

//////////////////
// Script Usage
//////////////////
1.) Visit admin.php in your web browser e.g.
http://www.domain.com/digi-news/admin.php.

2.) Login to the control panel using the following login name and password:
       Login Name: admin
       Password:   1234

3.) Configure the script by clicking on "Configuration".

4.) Ad News as necessary.

5.) Displaying news is relatively simple. The following is just a bare-boned
example (feel free to change the arguments and HTML).
<?php
include '/path/to/digi-news/news.php';
if (!$disp) {
    $disp = 4; // default # of news entries
}
$whatsnew = new digiNews($disp);
echo $whatsnew->entries;
?>
<p align=center>
<font face=Verdana size=1><a href=<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>?disp=all>All News</a></font>

- $disp: The number of news entries you want displayed.
