ZA> Yes.

The quotes come from quotes.dat in data directory. They are basically
separated by * on an otherwise blank line. The first line is a * then each is
separated by a *.

Its not really documented because I was planning to redo it in A48 but I
completely forgot.

For example:

*
This is sample Mystic BBS quote #1.
* This is sample Mystic BBS quote #2.
* This is sample Mystic BBS quote #3.
