It has to be modified to have ASCII 00 delimiting the quotes. If there isn't a ftp'able regular file somewhere, you would have to edit the original one-line file to have the extra quotes, making sure to add the terminators as well. If you edit (data-directory)/yow.lines in Emacs you should see the delimiters represented by ^@: _____________________________________________________________________ Zippy the pinhead data base. Everything up to the first ascii \000 (`null') character is a comment. The file consists of Zippy quotations (from various comic books and strips by Bill Griffith) followed by a null character. Newline characters following a quotation are ignored and are present only for readability. Have FUN!
