You can display an ASCII file in the Login Script with:
DISPLAY path\filename
You can find an ANSI/ASCII editor such as TDRAW on most BBS's and use it to 
create Ansi/Ascii/AVP screens.  (Easy to use,)
Your users would need the line "Device = ANSI.SYS in their config.sys file in 
order to be able to see the ANSI screens but anyone should be able to see the 
ASCII version.
