Short: Dissect "rec.humor.oracle" articles
Author: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Uploader: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Type: util/misc
Ever read "rec.humor.oracle"? Like it? Already seen the archive at
ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/oracle? Whoa! Almost 10000 pieces of humour
and wisdom, in about 400 files (each containing between 1 and 5 of the
original news articles), totaling 14 MByte.
"OrySplit" was written to deal with these archive files. It can split
them into the original news articles and, even better, convert them
to fortune cookie format. You can then have a program like "cookie"
(util/misc/cookie20.lha, cookie21.lha) or "IntuiCookie" (util/misc/
ICookieRT.lha, ICookieMUI.lha) pick and display Oracularities at
random. And you can apply "CookieTool" (util/misc/cookietool.lha) to
them, to select Oracularities of a minimum or maximum size, or only
those that contain certain keywords.
One example file, "918-919" is supplied. Try these commands:
orysplit 918-919 ; creates articles 918 through 919
orysplit 918-919 -c >wisdom ; creates a cookie file
The following examples assume that you have the "CookieTool" archive,
too:
cookietool wisdom -ss ; sort by size
cdbsplit wisdom temp -x -kmicrosoft -Kbill -Kgates ; extract MS stuff
One more hint: The archive files at cs.indiana are packed in Unix .Z
format. You might use gzip (util/pack/gzip124x2.lha) to unpack them.
Or, if bandwidth doesn't matter, you can also have the ftp server
uncompress them for you, by e.g. requesting a file called "922-924",
when the file is actually listed as "922-924.Z".
"OrySplit" is freeware, C-source is included.
