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.
