Short:        a very fast fortune program (v2.0)
Uploader:     amk cs tu-berlin de
Type:         util/misc
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

     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.

     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)
