hdlns is an Amiga executable that outputs a 'random' headline reminiscent
of those of National Enquirer and other rags. The program was inspired by
a database which appeared on the net some time ago. I never saw a driver
program for it, so I wrote my own. Heck, let it be public domain. I
sure ain't gonna get rich from something like this!
The database file (headlines.txt) must be in the current directory. You
may freely edit this file, keeping in mind that the '%' are category
delimiters and words in caps following those delimiters are the names
of the categories. Other capitalized words normally invoke a search, but
if a match is not found, the all-caps word will be used normally.
Amiga users please note that this program should be invoked from the CLI.
It is bare bones so that it will also work on just about anything. It
compiled perfectly on our UNIX system. The C source is included here.
It was originally written using Manx C 3.4a, but I'll just bet that
Lattice will do the trick too.
Enjoy!
