Fortune Cookie clears your screen and displays random one-line messages
from an ASCII text file.  Fortune Cookie requires Warp 9 v3.70 or later,
works in all resolutions with 80 or more columns, and is freeware from
CodeHead Technologies. 

When Fortune Cookie loads it looks for a file called FORTUNES.ASC in the
same directory, and loads the entire file into memory.  This file contains
the one-line sayings that Fortune Cookie will display at random.  A
fortune file with almost 900 one-liners is included with this release of
Fortune Cookie. 

You can add to the existing fortune file with a text editor, or create
your own from scratch.  If you replace the supplied file, make sure to
name your new file FORTUNES.ASC and put it in the same directory with the
Fortune Cookie module.

Fortune files must be standard ASCII text files, with each line terminated
by a carriage return/line feed combination.  Each saying in the file is
limited to one line of 80 characters or less.  Fortune Cookie can read a
maximum of 1000 lines.


                    *** CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ***

Pause Time
----------
This value determines how many seconds Fortune Cookie will wait before
clearing the screen and displaying a new one-liner.  This value cannot be
set to zero.


Load Font
---------
Click on this button and a file selector lets you choose a font (in Warp 9
format) to use for Fortune Cookie's one-liners.  Note: no checking is done
to see if the font can be scaled to the current resolution; if a font
doesn't look good, just load another.


Test
----

Click on this button to start up Fortune Cookie in "test mode." When you
want to exit test mode, click the left mouse button.

Note: when you enter test mode, the current settings are saved into
FORTUNE.EXT just as if you had clicked the OK button (see below).


Cancel/OK
---------
Click the Cancel button if you wish to exit the configuration dialog
without saving the current settings.  When you click the OK button, the
current settings are automatically saved into the FORTUNE.EXT file; don't
rename the module, or you will be unable to save your settings.


                        *** PLEASE NOTE! ***

Just in case you missed it in the Warp 9 release notes, please remember
that you should only load and unload EOS modules from the GEM desktop or
from HotWire (if you use HotWire).  It's not safe to load/unload modules
while a program is running, because of limitations in TOS's memory
management systems.

We recommend using MultiDesk Deluxe to load the Warp 9 Control Panel as
the last resident desk accessory, for the highest speed and
compatibility.
