# i once did a random email/usenet signature with zippy/yow ... but i
# added two other files to it ... and then i had to fix a feature in
# yow. yow uses a 16bit random number to index a yow file ... it was ok
# as long as your sayings file was less than 64kbytes. i had to modify
# yow to handle files larger than 64kbytes ... the "sayings" file used
# for 6670 separater pages was 167k bytes and the jargon file was 413k
# bytes ... while a current zippy yow file is 52,800 bytes.

It's nice to know people still have time to work on really important things.
