Fortune Cookie (v2.0) by Thomas J. Clancy REGISTRATION ($10.00)
(Abstracted from the programs documentation)...
Welcome to the world of Fortune Cookie. This is a simple program for
displaying and editing quotations or personal sayings or what have
you. This is perfect for including in your AUTOEXEC file for
displaying a random fortune whenever you boot your system.
I've always enjoyed collecting famous quotations and especially
enjoyed the fortune cookie program on the DEC MINI's like the PDP-11,
so I decided to write my own. No, not in the tradition of C, but in
Turbo Pascal 5.5.

With Fortune Cookie, you can add quotes (or cookies) to the cookie
file, you can display a certain cookie, you can display a random
cookie, you can send you're cookie file to the printer, you can kill
the cookie file (smash the cookie jar), you can erase and unerase a
cookie, and you can compress the erased cookies (erasing just marks
them for deletion).

This program is small and should run in 64K of memory. I have 640K
(as do most of us) so I haven't been able to test it on a machine with
less memory but I think it'll work comfortably on any PC Compatible
these days. It will run under DOS 2.0 or higher, maybe even 1.0, but
I haven't tested it below DOS 2. Although Fortune Cookie will run
from a floppy disk, a hard disk is preferable and much faster.
