is a "Quote-Of-The-Day" program that shows a random phrase or quotation each time it is run.
WinFortunes is intended as a replacement of the Windows "Tip Of The Day" applet. WinFortunes greets you with a random quote from the thousands in its database every time you start Windows. You can also add more data files to the program or even write your own files.
The program's features include the ability to change the font, size, and color of the text; the ability to select a time period for the auto close function; and the ability to specify which files to use for selecting quotes.
WinFortunes is a port of the famous Linux/Unix fortune program.
