Fortune Cookies for AmigaOS

This is a very old program, written 25 years ago for AmigaOS. It is an implmentation of the venerable UNIX fortune cookie program and as far as I can tell/remember accepts regular UNIX fortune cookie files.

It is implemented as an Amiga commodity. The cookie window can be summoned (by default) with Amiga-Space key combination. This can be changed through the Amiga tooltypes system. It also has an AREXX port and is fully documented in an AmigaGuide file.

To install, copy the Epigrams file and Epigrams.info file into WBStartup (or whichever drawer you prefer). Also, make sure there is an epigrams.dat file in the S: drive.

ASCII art by Tango created today. Here's the original from 25 years ago that I never used. Thanks.
