- 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.
