'-----------------------------
I shouldn`t think it would take long to write a little QBasic prog that
randomly picks a sig when you start up the computer - of course that would
mean any sig files made that day would share the same sig!
Not much use to you though, Joan, since you like to fit in with the theme
of the post.... :)

I could write a Windows 3.1/95 program that lists all of your current sigs, and lets you pick one before the message. I can make it so that you can have it overwrite your current sig file, or copy it to the clipboard. This would be very usefull for somebody like lizzard who has a bunch of sigs that they make little changes to. Any support? -- --ran...@slip.net (Randy Gardner) --http://www.slip.net/~randyg/index.htm - *New* Download a maze program that lets you actually walk *inside* the maze!!
