Ok, a while back ('bout a month) I posted a little script I have made
that gets a random sig.  Somehow I don't think it got through (we have a
rather bad news feed at times).  In case it did and no-one liked it I
won't post it again, but feel free to ask me for it.

Basically it consisted of 3 files:
	- .signature (I use .sig but this is easily changed)
	- .sigs (a file containing all your signatures seperated by a &)
	- sigger (shell script that randomly grabs a sig from .sigs and
	  puts it into the file .signature)
Then all you do is set your mailer/etc. to load up the .sig file.

Any interested parties?

P.S. Currently working on a rough Random Dot Stereogram generator
(ascii), anyone out there got any ideas?
	Heres a sample of what i have so far:

      UUUUU       UUUUU                 
     TU  TU     T U T U                 
     SSSSSU    SSSSS  U                 
     SU  SU    S  US  U                 
     SUU SU    S  US UU                 
     S   S     ST  ST                   
     SSSSS     SSSSS                    

P.P.S. Scarecrow... can you mail me an ACK if this gets through to you please :)
