<h1>The Random Effects Utility</h1>

<hr>

<h3>What it is</h3>

<p>The random_effect program is really a gross hack. It was
inspired by an idea donated by <font face="Times New Roman"><code>Thilo
Wunderlich &lt;c15o@zfn.uni-bremen.de&gt;</code></font> who asked
for such a feature. The program takes 1 commandline argument - a
file name. </p>

<h3>Format of <code>random_effect</code> config file</h3>

<pre>
Line #1 = commandline to run xbanner (absolute path)
</pre>

<p>The rest of the lines are simply pathnames of XBanner resource
files. </p>

<p>After reading the file, the program will select an effect file
by random, and execute the needed things. </p>

<h3>Notes</h3>

<p>If you need to put a &quot;-display&quot; to xbanner, then
your first line in the random-effect database file will look
like: </p>

<pre>
   /usr/local/bin/X11/xbanner -display ggf:0
</pre>

<p>Again, thanks to <font face="Times New Roman"><code>Thilo
Wunderlich &lt;c15o@zfn.uni-bremen.de&gt;</code></font> for
pushing me in this direction. This is a neat addition to XBanner.
