FORTUNE COOKIES


This is a simple fortune cookie program I wrote in about 20 minutes when I was bored at work, and couldn't get any of the already available fortune programs to work on my machine. It only works on unix machines and its available only as source code so you'll have to compile it yourself. The program reads the fortunes from a plain text file so new fortunes are easy to add. Just add '123' after each fortune as the delimiter. All necessary details are in the README file provided.

Feel free to do what you want with the source code. If anyone feels up to porting it to windows - should be easy enough - then pass it back and I'll post it here.

UPDATE : I've also added an e-mail signature file creator. Basically the same as the fortune program only the fortune is stored in a file called .signature in your home directory. Most e-mail clients can then be configured to add the contents of the signature file to the end of all your e-mails - cool eh ..............

If you're having problems with any of this then mail me and I'll see what I can do to help.
