SAMPLE QUOTES.TXT FILE: 366 Silence is evidence of superb language skills !edis gnorw eht morf siht ta gnikool era uoY "640K is enough for anybody." Bill Gates,1981 "Apple" (c) Copyright 1767, Sir Issac Newton. "At last I'm organized", he sighed, and died. ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ<58 spaces>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ 4. The number appearing on the first line represents the total number of lines in the file for the random generator...it MUST be flush left. You may add, or edit quotes, as long as you center them on 58 spaces. This makes the display much more pleasant to look at for your user. If you ADD or DELETE lines from this file, adjust the number in line 1 to the actual number of LINES in the file. I chose 366 to give a different quote for each day of the year [remember, line 2 is ignored by the data, but must be included in the count] You can make the file as long or short as you like, but remember the longer it is, the longer it will take to choose the random line and display it. I have included to additional files of quotes so you may periodically change your data bank if you wish. To do so, rename the QUOTES.TXT file to QUOTES.HLD then rename the QUOTES1.HLD file to QUOTES.TXT. Then again edit line 2 to the name of your BBS and you have a whole new bank of quotes! NEXT RELEASE! ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Maybe by the next release you will be able to locate it yourself but for now it is centered on the screen. Sorry!
