Lines: 16 ["In the service of Virman Vundabar we learn perfection!"] I've posted another "fortune(6)" directory to net.sources.games. This version lacks nifty features like indexing, but it does * let the user ask for a genuine fortune cookie instead of a stale old joke; * include programs to weed out duplicate jokes (yay!); * distinguish data files by meaningful names (e.g., "cleanjokes"). As a bonus, it includes our (previously undistributed) "localjokes" file, which contains quite a few verses of the Roguelet's ABC. (Where are the rest?) -- Col. G. L.
