This is my implementation of the popular Unix/Linux program Fortune in MATLAB. To install it, simply unzip the file archive to a folder, and run "initial.m", this will create the MAT-files containing the fortunes. After that type "fortune" at the command line for a random clean fortune, use the "off" flags for an offensive fortune, and read the readme or header of the file for more information.
