- Short: a very fast fortune program (v2.0)
- Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de
- Type: util/misc
-
- This is a very fast fortune cookie program.
- It prints a nice quote/saying/joke from your cookie database.
-
- The cookie database is a plain text file, entries are separated
- by "\n%%\n". So you can easily add your own cookies with a
- simple text editor. Once (after installation or changing your
- database) you have to generate a hash-table (a small file with
- lots of numbers) which helps Cookie to get an amazing fast
- access to entries in even very large databases.
-
- Includes C-source and 2 MB fortune cookies.
- Contact me if you want more ;-)

- Amiga version by Andreas M. Kirchwitz,
- original Unix version by Karl Lehenbauer
-
- UUCP/Internet: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de
-
-
- Usage: Join all your cookies to one big (raw) file.
-
- "onecookie <fortune_raw >fortune_file"
- (once, to remove double cookies... not neccessary,
- needs lots of memory -- just ignore if you don't
- care of some double cookies)
-
- "cookhash <fortune_file >fortune_hash"
- (once, after installation or change of database)
-
- "cookie fortune_file fortune_hash"
- (as often as you want, prints a nice fortune cookie)

- Twice the fun, double the trouble... Andreas
