- 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!
