> I have never gotten a fortune out of a cookie. Do they show up > randomly, or do I have to do something special like break them open? Let me point out that the only way a fortune will appear when you eat a fortune cookie is if the file of fortunes (`rumors') is in the hack directory. If that file does not exist, hack will simply do nothing. It doesn't even give an error message. ===================================================================== Curt Sampson ihnp4!alberta!jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- "It looked like something resembling white marble, which was probably what is was: something resembling white marble."
