This module provides an interface to fortune cookie databases, as
implemented by the fortune-mod-9708 distribution (which is widely used in
the Linux world, and available with at least the Red Hat and Debian
distributions).
Currently, it is a read-only interface. If I ever need to a read-write
interface, I suppose I'll write one; if *you* need one, feel free to write
it and send me a patch!
AVAILABILITY
------------
The latest version of this module will be available at:
http://starship.python.net/~gward/perl/
If you need a full-blown fortune package, try fortune-mod, which
should be available at:
http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~dbugger/hacks/hacks.html
CREDITS
-------
Thanks to Bill Ward <wrw@bayview.com> for adding the code that allows
reading a fortune file that doesn't have a header (index) file.
