#1124 — Creating quotes

I have been busy with my script to generate quotes. The current
version can be fetched from:
    http://www.decebal.nl/postscript/createQuote.ps

There has still a lot to be done. The most important is that the quote
has to be fetched from a file, but I can not make that work. (See my

- check that the font does not become too big or too little

With the help of Chris this problem is solved. The above link now

I have also made a bash script that uses the postscript script to

I hope it is useful to someone else also.

I found the solution from luser better, so I re-implemented the script
with his solution,
