I recall a PD version in either comp.sources.unix or >comp.binaries.ibm_pc, if the standard version isn't acceptable. Ken Arnold ( arnold@apollo.hp.com ) wrote the well-known BSD fortune program. He posted a new version with an updated database to comp.sources.unix a while ago. Warning, the database of fortunes is getting pretty big! Also, you should still be able to submit new fortunes to fortune@ucbvax.berkeley.edu Now, I just hope Ken doesn't come across the hall with his Nerf(TM) bat and brain me for giving out his address.... =brian -- Internet: brian@apollo.hp.com UUCP: {decvax,mit-eddie,umix}!apollo!brian
