What is  WinFortunes?
=====================

WinFortunes is a 'Quote-Of-The-Day' program.

Those of you, who have worked on a UNIX/Linux computer may have seen 
the fortunes program. It is a small utility that shows a random phrase or 
quotation each time it is run. 
WinFortunes is an implementation of the same idea for the Windows platform. 
It is somewhat similar to the Tip Of The Day  that  Windows and some 
applications can show each time they are run. The difference is that 
WinFortunes offers a greater variety of topics - from humorous quotes
to Star Trek phrases. You can add more data files to the program or 
even write your own files. 

The number of the phrases included in the program is so big, that it is 
unlikely you to see one  and the same phrase twice, but you can download 
more data files, convert a data file from the Linux fortune program or 
write your own fortune file.
WinFortunes is intended to be run from the StartUp folder of Windows - 
every time Windows loads.

WinFortunes will greet you with a random quote trom the thousands 
in its database every time you start Windows.
