Installing the Banner Manager is a very simple process.
When extracting the scripts please do this into a new file.
In the extracted folder you should see all the files that 
we just mentioned.  Then follow the steps listed below:

1.	Configure Your Scripts
a.	Open banner.cgi with a regular text program like 
	Simple Text or Word Pad.  Near the top of the page will be 
	the $jump_script and $banner_directory lines.  Customize 
	these lines for your server.  The $jump_script line should 
	be the URL to the directory that the jump.cgi script is in.
	The $banner_directory line should be the URL of the directory
	that all your banners are located in.  For either of these lines
	do not put a slash (/) at the end of them.
b.	Open addbanner.cgi with the same text program and edit
	the same lines with the same information that you placed in the
	banner.cgi script. Again, do not place a slash at the end of the URL.

2.	Upload
a.	By using a FTP program, upload all of these files onto
	your server.  These files should be placed in the same
	directory.  It is wise to create a new directory on your
	server in your cgi-bin to place all of these files in.
b.	Each file will need to have the correct permissions placed
	on them if you are running a Unix server.  Below is the permission
	chmod codes that they should have:
i.	banner.cgi - chomd to 755
ii.	addbanner.cgi - chomd to 755
iii.	jump.cgi - chomd to 755
iv.	bannereditor.cgi - chomd to 755
v.	report2.cgi - chomd to 755
vi.	cgi-lib1.pl - chomd to 755
vii.	ref.dat - chomd to 777
viii.	categories.dat  - chomd to 777
ix.	titles.dat - chomd to 777

3.	Run the script
After you have uploaded every file and changed the permissions 
for each you will then be able to run the program to start your 
system.  Simply open up a browser and point it to the location of
the bannereditor.cgi script on your server.
