`````````````'
- 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
email: sveinarr@stud.cs.uit.no
