-  What?
      o Smartass is fortune cookie program. Available for  platforms  rang-
        ing from the old Amiga 500 to a Digital Alpha (64 bits). 
      
                                . . .                                  

-  Installation
      o Copy the file 'Smartass.dat' to this directory!
      o Run setup.exe and let it do things for you.
      
                                . . .      
                            
-  DOS version

      o SmartDos runs in protected mode. This means that  the file  called
        Cwsdpmi.exe must not be deleted. Minimum CPU >= 386.
      o Also works with WinNT.
      o Has command line options:

              -n       don't clear screen first.
              -h       display quick help.
              -f xx    print fortune number xx.
              -c       prints fortunes continuously. Any key to stop.
              -t       don't print header before cookie.

      o Requires 'Smartass.dat' file in the same dir as SmartDos.exe
      
                                . . .      

      
-  WinNT/95 version

      o Requires Win32. This is included in Win95---but not in Win3.11.
        Technically, this program should work with OS/2, WinNT,  Win95 and
        Win3.11, _if_ you have Win32 installed.
      o Requires  'Smartass.dat'  file in  the same  dir  as  SmartDos.exe
      o Has own  configuration program included.  Smartass.exe  loads  the
        configuration file called 'Smartass.cfg'. This program doesn't set
        the width of the window---it just reads the value from the  config
        file. Change it to whatever you like  (567-->1280 pixels)  to make
        it suit your environment.
      o The history is 16 entries.

                                . . .      

The rest should be self-evident. Any problems should be directed to
