This program is provided as is; there is no warranty, express, or implied,
that this program will perform as described, that it won't do things not
described, and that any messages it produces will make sense. Any loss of
sanity, loss of weight, loss of nerve or loss of ant-eaters due to use or
mis-use of this program is all your own fault.



Ho hum. A cack generator. Just what you always wanted. Aren't you lucky?

Basically, it produces insensible sentences to a file. It's just makes
endless (well it crashes when the string is > 255 characters) cacks and
through's it all to the file 'CSV' inside CackFile

Update for 0.02:
Now can generate tagline-type cacks, ready for use with Messenger Pro and
others

Here's some examples of its output:

  The very rippled lasagne boredly strangles the deafening, yet underhandedly
  pointed notebook, for fully the short sheep pushes a squishy, yet cleverly
  flat llama.
  
  The quietly round fruiterer confidently mends the fractiously rigid
  periodic table, for quietly the underhandedly red stick squashes a potato.

  Strangle the hugely sharpened snake noisily, for pert lasagnes occasionally
  over-confidently and noisily shoot squishy, yet vapidly floppy vegetables.
  
And much more along the same lines... It's all very pointless.

Changing the program to have different objects, descriptions and actions is
pretty easy - just go to the end of the program and edit the data. The
numbers indicate how many of each type of word there are.

If I was a marketing-type I'd probably describe this program as "using
advanced artificial-intelligence techniques to cleverly simulate the patterns
and behaviour of everyday human speech", but then I'd be lying.

Oh yeah, if anyone can come up with a use for this program, I'd be interested
to hear it ;)

Oh well, back to the daily grind.
