ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Program Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Psychic is a simple program that takes no arguments, and displays a random
fortune each time it is executed. The fortune can easily be piped through
stdout to a file or another program if so desired. Below are three sample
fortunes you might find as typical output of this program...
Sample:
Heretic! Listen not to the simpleminded aphorisms of Thor! Only Saturn, the
Joker, can help! Heed this, or I predict that your terminal is straining your
eyes!
"I predict that good fortune awaits you around every corner", says Jean
Dixon, the Twin. Listen well, for your nose is oddly formed, and your eyes
are of different color.
"I predict that you have contracted a fatal illness, but your belief in
Virgo, the Scourge of Heaven, will pull you through", says She-Ra, the One
Who Has Seen the WWF Champion From Afar. Listen well, for it's not what you
do, it's how you do it.
Sample:
Listen! the Turtle has seen that you will be fired for spending so much time
playing with a cheap little program like this one! Prove Mars wrong, and
instead, you will buy something from the Home Shopping Network.
Beware, the Water Bearer has said that it's not what you do, it's how you do
it, but you must not believe predictions from cheap programs like this one.
Look to Obiwan Kenobi for clear truth.
Zarkov, the Twin Tower, knows that your terminal is straining your eyes. And
much more. Send money.
Sample:
Know that your terminal is straining your eyes. All this Oz has seen.
Remember, the Elder is never wrong. As a token of truth, your nose is oddly
formed, and your eyes are of different color.
Bathe in the presence of She-Mommy, and know that you will be fired for
spending so much time playing with a cheap little program like this one.
An urgent message from the Elder! Ignore this, and find that your terminal is
straining your eyes. But listen well, and hang a token of Oz, the WWF
Champion, about your neck, for you have dreamed that you have a brilliant
future ahead of you. But rest not; your good fortune is at an end. Look to
Houdini, the Lion, for guidance. You will have such dreams again.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. OS/2 Port Notes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Changes:
o OS/2 2.x required.
o Makefile created.
o IPF help file added (there was no documentation).
o Small explanation of psychic included.
o A few small source changes to make it compile under EMX.
This was compiled with emx-0.8f but it does not require EMX.DLL.
Since the full, unmodified source and documentation was not included, I am
obligated to tell you that you can get it from the archive site
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory /usenet/comp.sources.misc/.....
