- Short: Fortune program, can use Setenv-variables!
- Author: pro-zac@dds.nl
- Uploader: pro-zac@dds.nl
- Version: 1.6
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: An Amiga Computer
-
- This program can print fortunes randomly from a textfile. The fortunes
- can use a Setenv variable. If this variable exists, Fortune will
- replace the variable with the value of this variable.
-
- Example fortune file:
- == NOT INCLUDED ======================
- Welcome $user at $host!
- The time is $time.
- %
- Aloha $user at $host!
- It's now $time.
- %
- == NOT INCLUDED ======================
-
- * Each fortune can have more than 1 line.
- * Each fortune begins or ends (NOT BOTH) with an identifier.
- (In the example above the '%' is the identifier)
- * 5000 fortunes maximum (+)
- * 160 characters maximum for each line (+)
- * 10 characters maximum for variables (+)
- * 10 characters maximum for identifier (+)
-
- (+) Mail me when these (or other) values are not good enough for
- you. I will try to recompile a better version.
-
- Usage:
- -f <file>: The name of the fortune file
- -i <identifier>: The identifier used in the fortune file
- -h: Show some help-information
-
- Todo:
- Fortune can use variables set with 'Setenv' (Setenv user prozac),
- but in the future Fortune must also use variables set with 'Set'.
-
- Misc:
- I like to receive mail from you if you use this program, this
- program is MAILWARE.
- You can mail me too if you have suggestions or found bugs.
