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