You create a *.ANS file,  run ANS2MEC,  and then edit the resulting *.MEC 
file, inserting whatever MECCA codes you like.  This is the way I've done it 
here,  and I *always* end up altering the file before I even start adding to 
it,  which is why I don't ever use ANS2BBS -- you don't get to look at the 
intermediate version of things.
