This program can print fortunes randomly from a textfile. The fortunes 
can use a Setenv variable. If this variable exists, Fortune will 
replace the variable with the value of this variable.

Example fortune file:
	== NOT INCLUDED ======================
	Welcome $user at $host!
	The time is $time.
	%
	Aloha $user at $host!
	It's now $time.
	%
	== NOT INCLUDED ======================

	* Each fortune can have more than 1 line.
	* Each fortune begins or ends (NOT BOTH) with an identifier.
			(In the example above the '%' is the identifier)
	* 5000 fortunes maximum (+)
	* 160 characters maximum for each line (+)
	* 10 characters maximum for variables (+)
	* 10 characters maximum for identifier (+)

	(+) Mail me when these (or other) values are not good enough for 
			you. I will try to recompile a better version.

Usage:
	-f <file>: The name of the fortune file
	-i <identifier>: The identifier used in the fortune file
	-h: Show some help-information
	
Todo:
	Fortune can use variables set with 'Setenv' (Setenv user prozac), 
	but in the future Fortune must also use variables set with 'Set'.

Misc:
	I like to receive mail from you if you use this program, this 
	program is MAILWARE.
	You can mail me too if you have suggestions or found bugs.
