I wrote one in JPI Modula-2 to use the standard fortune library used on Unix
systems.  It's not quite straight text (there are some embedded formatting
commands like linefeeds) but it's easily modifyable and appendable.  If this
is satisfactory I can send the program (with it's cookie data file) to
c.b.i.p.
