Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Extract the files to a temporary directory. Open shoutbox.php
and edit the settings. REMEMBER CHANGE THE ADMIN PASSWORD!!
The settings are explained in the shoutbox file.

2. Upload to your server. The PHP files, the HTM files,
and the directory "shouts" must be in the same directory.

3. CHMOD the "shouts" directory to 0666 or 0777

4. CHMOD the *.dat files to 0666 or 0777

5. Include the shoutbox into your page via PHP or iframe.
