  28 ;; Support for random cookie fetches from phrase files, used for such
  29 ;; critical applications as emulating Zippy the Pinhead and confounding
  30 ;; the NSA Trunk Trawler.
  31 ;;
  32 ;; The two entry points are `cookie' and `cookie-insert'.  The helper
  33 ;; function `shuffle-vector' may be of interest to programmers.
  34 ;;
  35 ;; The code expects phrase files to be in one of two formats:
  36 ;;
  37 ;; * ITS-style LINS format (strings terminated by ASCII 0 characters,
  38 ;; leading whitespace ignored).
  39 ;;
  40 ;; * UNIX fortune file format (quotes terminated by %% on a line by itself).
  41 ;;
  42 ;; Everything up to the first delimiter is treated as a comment.  Other
  43 ;; formats could be supported by adding alternates to the regexp
  44 ;; `cookie-delimiter'.
  45 ;;
  46 ;; strfile(1) is the program used to compile the files for fortune(6).
  47 ;; In order to achieve total compatibility with strfile(1), cookie files
  48 ;; should start with two consecutive delimiters (and no comment).
  49 ;;
  50 ;; This code derives from Steve Strassman's 1987 spook.el package, but
  51 ;; has been generalized so that it supports multiple simultaneous
  52 ;; cookie databases and fortune files.  It is intended to be called
  53 ;; from other packages such as yow.el and spook.el.
