- CONSPIRACY v1.0 February 1997
- =============================
- (c) S.Allan 2/98
- ===============
-
-
- So. What is it?
-
- It's a small program that produces random gibberish... erm, conspiracies.
- That's it.
- Honest.
- There is no hidden agenda.
- The truth ain't in here.
- Really.
-
-
- So. How does it work?
-
- Simple.
- enter the command:
-
- ASSIGN CONSPIRACY: <volume>:<text_files_directory>
-
- e.g if the volume (disk) is called foo and the text files are in the
- directory, text, in the top level of the foo disk
- then the command is:
-
- ASSIGN CONSPIRACY: foo:text
-
- Type CONSPIRACY on the CLI or double click the CONSPIRACY icon.
-
-
- So. Why is it?
-
- 'Cos it seemed like a good idea at the time.
-
-
- So. How much is the full version?
-
- What?? You really want more of this crap?
- O.K.

-
- This means that if you want the latest text files and updates to the program
- then send me as many entries for each text file on disk as you can be bothered
- to think up..
- The idea is to create the biggest, most unmanageable files possible.
- If you have any ideas for new additions to the program then let me know.
- If you find any bugs then *please* let me know.
-
-
- So. Who are you?

- So. Who did you rip most of the code from then?
-
- The original idea for this came from a fortune program
- written by S.Hawtin on the NORTHC examples disk
- and the conspiracy theory generator in the summer
- 1996 edition of Alien Encounters(tm) magazine.
-
- It's compiled using NORTHC.
-
- Suggestion : Try sticking the output through jive or valspeak, it makes
- the output almost worth reading...
- You can get both these progs. (by Adams Douglas) from
- aminet (text/misc).
-
- P.S. This program may be freely distributed as long as all the
- text files are included.
-
- P.P.S. Thanks to J. Lighterness for the loan of his "factoid book",
- The Big Book Of Conspiracies. ("Everything you know is wrong")
- (c) PARADOX PRESS, N.Y.
-
- P.P.P.S. If you've read this far --
- then you've spent more time on it than I have.
