Fortune?
Authored by: tochoa on May 24, '02 10:32:55AM

Yes, fortune! Sorry , I'm assuming too much here. Should have posted this in the 'nix category. Fortune is available as a dawin component for OSX - if you're not familiar with a unix prompt, you would have no idea what the heck I'm talking about. My apologies.

This little script is a direct result of my fascination with fortune, which is very addicting. So get yourself a fink installation, and get going. I saw this feature on a mail application a while back - on the BeOs. I loved it and when I saw the planned upgrades to Mail.app (for Jaguar) realised that it (mail.app) was still bahind the curve on a lot of features. Hence the script. I'll be adding a reply-to and a reply-all , planning on writing those this morning.

If anyone wants to access the Handey files for their fortune install, go to my homepage -

Move the files to /sw/share/fortunes and chmod read permissions.
