- Cookie
- ------
-
- WB: double click on cookie.iconx icon
- CLI usage: cookie
-
- This program display a wise (and/or) humourous line of text on screen.
-
- The program requires the files cookie.dat and cookie.ptr to be present in
- the s: directory. `cookie.dat' contains the cookies separated by the
- character 0x0c. `cookie.ptr' contains long words which represent pointers
- into the file cookie.dat. These pointers give were each cookie starts.
- If these two files are not present then cookie displays the (appropriate)
- message `No Cookies!'
-
- If you want to add new cookies to cookie.dat then the program `pointers'
- reads the cookie.dat file and writes a new cookie.ptr file. Pointers must
- be run from the CLI.
-
- eg. The CLI command `cookie'
-
- displays (for example):
-
- Another good night not to sleep in a eucalyptus tree.
-
- The length of cookie is 460 bytes, and pointers is 1040 bytes.
-
- Note: The code for cookie contains random number functions. The code for
- these was taken from a public domain program. Unfortunately the author is
- unknown, I apologise to him/her for this.
