     As promised, here is the Fawlty Towers and Blackadder quote
server. Unfortunately, the whole thing is somewhat huge to post all in
one go, so I have split it into several sections. These are detailed
as below.

     S1) The actual server itself. Detach and save under any name you like.
     S2) The first batch of quotes. (Fawlty Towers 1)
     S3) Fawlty Towers 2
     S4) Black Adder II
     S5) Black Adder IV
     S6) Black Adder III

  The five quote batches should be edited together into one file - the
server will currently recognise it as 'FAQ', but you can alter this if
you wish. Don't forget to delete all this intro stuff, and the
signatures at the end. If you come up with any additional quotes, do
please get in touch!

                       - Matt -



# This is FAServer.
# A program that prints a random quote from Fawlty Towers/Blackadder
#
# Instructions: you'll need file 'FAQ'.
#   In the first command line below, insert:
#          244 for FT quotes
#          641 for both
#          397+244 for BA quotes. Simple!
#

awk -F% 'BEGIN { ran ='$$' % 641}
       { if ($1 == ran) print $2;if ($1 > ran) exit;}' < ~FAQ
