This directory contains a little program to give out random phrases to
advise inform and annoy you. The program is a simple implementation of
the UNIX "fortune" program, at the moment the text file that it runs from
has too few sayings to keep the user interested for very long.
This is the second version of fortune, it now includes the ability to
send the text to the narrator. There appears to be a bug that does not
release the library and device once they have been opened, this might be
fixed.
The code is simple enough that for me not to put much extra
documentation in here, read the code to see how the program works.
The simplest improvement would be to extending the data file. If you
do improve the program I would be pleased to get an updated copy. As
normal if you send me code tell me if I can put it on the next NorthC
release disk.
Steve Hawtin.
