The files in this library are intended to work with the PICS version
1.6 system.
If you install them, your PICS system will display a quotation to every
caller that logs in, in a random fashion to each.
You decide which quotations can be shown to your callers, depending on
how you edit the file QUOTES.TXT.
QUOTES.TXT works similarly to SYSMSG.TXT. If you erase SYSMSG.BB#,
PICS will rebuild it from SYSMSG.TXT when you start PICS. Likewise, when
you start PICS, if QUOTES.BB# is not present, PICS will build QUOTES.BB#
from the QUOTES.TXT file.
You can edit the QUOTES.TXT file as you wish.
Beware that that files QUOTES.BB# and QUOTEIDX.BB# will be created by
the modified software. They will occupy at least twice as much disk space
as the original QUOTES.TXT file.
If you are already tight for disk space and/or TPA space and/or heap
space, then you should not install this modification.
