Hello, and Welcome to WinYow and Yow!
Here are two versions of Zippy-the-pinhead fortune programs, one for Windows
and one for MSDOS. I no longer have the source for the MSDOS version of
Yow because it no longer exists (a disk crash ate it years ago) . I'll send
Windows source to any interested parties.
Just run the programs to figure them out.
(type yow /? for help with the MSDOS version)
Why is another fortune program needed? Well, the Windows version is pretty,
and the MSDOS version can send its output to stderr, so you can get a Yow!
onscreen when your makefile succeeds (I assume most people redirect the
output from their makes into a file somewhere)
Look for:
hyperoid - a neato game for Windows
ls - *nix ls command with MUCHO bells&whistles (couldn't live w/out it!)
blitfix - util that sets the CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT bit on all top windows
(speeds up my 1024x768 display by a factor of 3)
eyecon - xeyes clone (may have to be renamed)
ilbm - Amiga IFF bitmap viewer (supports HAM mode and palettes!)
life - 7 blit life with a few bells&whistles
loadmon - nifty system performance monitor
mbrot - mandelbrot hack that runs in the background
(more games... stuff... junk...)
Coming real soon now to a (net,BBS,Wherever this stuff ends up) near YOU!
