On Unix machines, you can use the Fortune format version of the files to start your login session with a randomly selected quotation; consult the man page for fortune(6) to learn how. I don't know what programs are used under Windows or MacOS to display random quotations, but am willing to convert the file to new formats; please let me know what other formats should be supported. (Alternatively, you could download a Python interpreter for your system, and grab the Python scripts strfile.py and fortune.py from my Simple Scripts page. They implement a simple version of the Unix fortune program.)

The XML versions are in QEL, the Quotation Exchange Language. For technical information and software, consult the QEL home page.
