- A Thought For The Day ©1996 Richard Munn / RAMTronics
-
-
- Introduction
-
- Fortune Cookie Programs currently seem to be all the rage. you can get
- ones which tell you rude jokes, or display obscure quotes from science
- fiction films, when you boot up. These can be amusing for a time, but
- often the supplied cookies aren't up to much, or the bad jokes start to
- grate.
-
- This is where my program comes in handy. If you haven't yet guessed, it
- is yet another program to pop up an interesting message in a requester,
- while you wait for Workbench to load. However, this is different.
- A Thought For The Day consists of a single executable file. No data
- files of amusing puns are required. Instead it acts as a virtual fortune
- teller, using a highly complex algorythm to generate a whole new thought
- every time you run it! (And each one has a highly deep and spiritual
- inner meaning.)
-
- Requirements
-
- As far as I know, it requires Workbench 2, about 100K of memory, and the
- command 'RequestChoice' installed in your C: directory.
- This command is part of the Workbench 3 package, but works file on KS2
- machines. As far as I know, it has been in the C: directory of most of the
- AMIGA Format CD-Roms, so you can copy it from one of those (if you don't have
- Kickstart 3.0+)
-
- Installation
-
- Simply copy the Thought program, and it's icon into your WBStartup
- drawer, and reboot.
- If you do not have Kickstart 3, then open a shell and type:
- 'Copy CD0:C/Requestfile To Sys:C/' (without the quotes)
- If the message 'Can't open CD0:C/Requestfile for input....' appears then
- try a different CD-Rom.
