Short: Fortune program, can use Setenv-variables! Author: pro-zac@dds.nl Uploader: pro-zac@dds.nl Version: 1.6 Type: util/misc Requires: An Amiga Computer This program can print fortunes randomly from a textfile. The fortunes can use a Setenv variable. If this variable exists, Fortune will replace the variable with the value of this variable. Example fortune file: == NOT INCLUDED ====================== Welcome $user at $host! The time is $time. % Aloha $user at $host! It's now $time. % == NOT INCLUDED ====================== * Each fortune can have more than 1 line. * Each fortune begins or ends (NOT BOTH) with an identifier. (In the example above the '%' is the identifier) * 5000 fortunes maximum (+) * 160 characters maximum for each line (+) * 10 characters maximum for variables (+) * 10 characters maximum for identifier (+) (+) Mail me when these (or other) values are not good enough for you. I will try to recompile a better version. Usage: -f : The name of the fortune file -i : The identifier used in the fortune file -h: Show some help-information Todo: Fortune can use variables set with 'Setenv' (Setenv user prozac), but in the future Fortune must also use variables set with 'Set'. Misc: I like to receive mail from you if you use this program, this program is MAILWARE. You can mail me too if you have suggestions or found bugs.
