The fnorder is written in Java.  It generates a "fnord" string by 
using random words and inserting them into various grammatical patterns.
To run it, add Fnorder.jar to your classpath and type 
"java com.sjgames.fnorder.Fnorder".  This is meant to run on Unix, but should
also work on NT or any other platform with a Java 1.1 compliant Java
virtual machine.

There are a number of ways to include a fnord in your web page.  One method
is to use the JSSI servlet from the Apache group at java.apache.org and Java
Servlets.  Once Java servlets are enabled for your web server and the JSSI
servlet has been installed, you will need to add the Fnorder.jar file to
your server's classpath.  For Apache JServ, this is found in the
zone.properties file. You will also need to follow the instructions to
enable .jhtml files.  Once that is done, you can add a fnord to a page by
using the following (assuming you aliased the servlet as "fnorder"):
 
         <SERVLET NAME="fnorder"></SERVLET> 

Thanks, and enjoy the Fnorder!
