How can I send announcements to Windows 98/95/NT client workstations the minute they login to a Win NT server ?
Like the one they have on Unix. NT login script is a hassle. Exchange is no use if the user did not open his mailbox.
Preferably something like the ancient DOS Saber Menu system where I can update,schedule and timed the announcements.

Sorry, but you really need to use a login script, but how about an easy one. Assign all of your users the same login script, and in the script file itself (SCRIPT.BAT) just put in:

Net Send %COMPUTERNAME% Your message here.

And an annoying popup box will appear on the NT clients.

The 9x clients do NOT support Net Send messages without the Winpopup program installed and running on them.

hope this helps
