AFortune for AmigaOS4

Fortune is a simple program to write a random sentence in the shell.
It's a well know old Unix program.
 
Fortune for AmigaOS4 is just a little program that opens a specified catalog 
file and write a random quote in the CLI. Sources are included and are adapted
to use AmigaOS4 API calls.

By adding it in your S:Shell-Startup you will have a new quote for each CLI 
opening.

Installation :
Double-click on Install.rexx to copy Fortune in Sys:utilities/Fortune and the 
Fortune_Catalogs drawer in S:

Catalogs : 
Included Catalogs are standard Fortune catalogs where each quote is separated 
by a "%"
	
By default, english Fortune_EN.txt 

Fortune_IT.txt or Fortune_DE or Fortune_ED or Fortune_FR can be selected editing
the shell-startup

For some languages you can choose also Offence catalogs or Mixed catalogs
	
Usage : 
"Fortune FILENAME/A"

By default, Fortune will open the S:Fortune catalogs/Fortune_EN.txt

Specify a FileName to open another Fortune catalog, for example, to open italian
catalog, issue: "Fortune S:Fortune_Catalogs/Fortune_IT.txt"

Add this command to your S:Shell-startup to have Fortune started for each CLI 
opening.
