Random Logon Quotes v1.0
This is part of a simple program I wrote to give my callers
a random logon quote. The other part (not released at this
time) also gives them a random LOGON.MSG. Give it a try,
your callers will love it.
There is nothing in this program that will harm your board
or computer, but use it at your own risk. It is provided FREE
for anyone that wants to use it. There is no warranty!
For questions or help you can leave me a message on AMBER or
call my board and leave a message there (chat if I happen to
be around). Voice support for registered Sysops only please.

WW4QUOTE.EXE
When used as your logon event, or placed in your logon
event batch file, it will display a 1 or 2 line quote
chosen at random from the WW4LOGON.DAT file.
WW4LOGON.DAT - The quote file
You may create your own quote file using any plain vanilla
ASCII text editor. Each quote is two lines, even if the
second line is blank. Each line is 79 characters long, even
if it is a blank line. After you create or edit a quote
file you can run FIXQUOTE.EXE to pad or trim each line to
79 characters for you. Just remember that the first line of
each quote is an odd numbered line.
WW4QUOTE.DAT
A single line file to provide a title for your quotes. Just
make sure the line ends with a CR/LF.
EXAMPLE:
Todays words of wisdom(?) <---- WW4QUOTE.DAT
Etorre's observation: <---- WW4LOGON.DAT
The other line always moves faster.
