I probably wrote the first version of Ching. You could type a question
as an argument and it would hash the question and use it to simulate
yarrow sticks. I used a small book for the "prophecies", and at some
point realized that it was probably some kind of copyright violation so
I dropped it. It's quite possible that others tinkered with it as well,
that being the way the world worked then.
