- Sample Setup:
-
- Put all the Fortune programs in a directory called FORTUNE. Copy the
- Fortune.Com program to your BIN directory (or some directory that is in the
- path). Unarc the MORE_LNS.ARC file to extract MORE_BYE.LNS.
- Add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
- SET LINES=c:\fortune\bye.lns;c:\fortune\more_bye.lns
- SET NAME={your name}
- SET FORTUNE={any default parameters you may want set}
-
- The last line of you autoexec.bat file should be FORTUNE. This will give
- you a random fortune everytime you boot your computer and use both of the
- bye.lns files. Enjoy!
