OK, I have had many people tell me this. I should have mentioned the (obvious?) assumption that I ate them. It turns out that the hack I use is a little strange and has been hacked to bits. Sorry about all of you that had to read my original "annoyingly naive" posting. Darin Johnson

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."
