CONSPIRACY v1.0 February 1997
=============================
(c) S.Allan 2/98
===============
So. What is it?
It's a small program that produces random gibberish... erm, conspiracies.
That's it.
Honest.
There is no hidden agenda.
The truth ain't in here.
Really.
So. How does it work?
Simple.
enter the command:
ASSIGN CONSPIRACY: <volume>:<text_files_directory>
e.g if the volume (disk) is called foo and the text files are in the
directory, text, in the top level of the foo disk
then the command is:
ASSIGN CONSPIRACY: foo:text
Type CONSPIRACY on the CLI or double click the CONSPIRACY icon.
So. Why is it?
'Cos it seemed like a good idea at the time.
So. How much is the full version?
What?? You really want more of this crap?
O.K.

This means that if you want the latest text files and updates to the program
then send me as many entries for each text file on disk as you can be bothered
to think up..
The idea is to create the biggest, most unmanageable files possible.
If you have any ideas for new additions to the program then let me know.
If you find any bugs then *please* let me know.
So. Who are you?

So. Who did you rip most of the code from then?
The original idea for this came from a fortune program
written by S.Hawtin on the NORTHC examples disk
and the conspiracy theory generator in the summer
1996 edition of Alien Encounters(tm) magazine.
It's compiled using NORTHC.
Suggestion : Try sticking the output through jive or valspeak, it makes
the output almost worth reading...
You can get both these progs. (by Adams Douglas) from
aminet (text/misc).
P.S. This program may be freely distributed as long as all the
text files are included.
P.P.S. Thanks to J. Lighterness for the loan of his "factoid book",
The Big Book Of Conspiracies. ("Everything you know is wrong")
(c) PARADOX PRESS, N.Y.
P.P.P.S. If you've read this far --
then you've spent more time on it than I have.
