This little program is a simple "Fortune Cookie" application. It reads a bunch of sayings from the file Zen.txt, located in the same folder as the application itself, and spits one out at random. I have an alias of the program in my Startup Items folder, so my computer greets me with a pithy saying every time I start up. The Zen.txt file is plain text. You can modify the file at will. All fortunes are separated by two RETURN characters (with no space in between). This program is similar to "Cookie," the fortune cookie program first written in FORTRAN for early DEC PDP computers, and since then ported to almost every computer and operating system in the world.
Our Review: Very witty, and a lot of fun too. Gives 'thought of the day' a whole new appeal.
