- Not only do I collect quotes, I distribute them too. To get a copy
- of my Tar'd compress'd quotes, use anonymous ftp to
-
- cs.ubc.ca
-
- they're in /ftp/pickup/harrison as quotes.tar.Z
-
- I'm also interested in receiving any collections from other people. I
- currently have a "format" devised that should allow files of quotes
- to be reformatted an sortable with little storage overhead. The main
- concern I had when I started to collect quotes was that the quotes files
- look like a collection of quotes, but at the same time have a
- machine recognizable format that would assist in their being resorted.
