V1.3 ================

Joe Riess added support for multiple databases (which is better than hardcoding
them ;-). He's also added support for the Babylon-5 fortunes.

If you want to add a file to the list, edit the FortuneView.dblist and put
the file into the db subdirectory. The first column in FortuneView.dblist is
the filename of the fortune database, and the second column is the name you
want to show up on the pop-up list. If the database filename is preceded
with a question mark, it will activate the alert panel used to warn the user
about offensive filenames.

Thanks to Joe for doing the stuff I was too lazy to do!

V1.2 ================

This screen saver makes use of several fortune databases that exist
out there on the net ('fortune', 'zippy', 'star trek', and 'offensive').

Every 5 to 40 seconds, the display will pick a random fortune, and
a random font to display on the screen.
