Not php... shell perhaps, but i'm not on my box. (Try running locate fortune, then cat (wherever fortune lies). That will tell you forsure.

hmm unfortunately i'd have to actually download it

however from reading some of the readme's on it. I find it doubtful for a win32 mod, toher then maybe a way that it could run within cgywin. Only way i could see it working easily in windows.

Since it seems to require linux specific files and such.

/me is being semi lazy in otherwords
