EFTH Minix report #17  - June 1988 -  K. Lehenbauer's cookie(6)


Karl Lehenbauer has submitted a fortune cookie program to
comp.sources.games (V4, #15, "cookie/Part01"). By making some
minor changes and following his README file, it will run
under Minix.


cookhash.c

	Use "%06X\n", if you don't have a printf with %lx.

cookie.h

	Use something like:

	  #define COOKIEFILE "/usr/src/public/cookie/cookies"
	  #define HASHFILE   "/usr/src/public/cookie/cookie.hash"

cookie.c

	Apply some diffs to get srand() to work; The following
	works, but you can do better:
