Berkeley copyright, close enough.

Over half a megabyte?

Yes.

Your wishes come true!  I just dropped off bsd-fortune-src.tar.Z
on sonata.cc.purdue.edu in pub/next/submissions

418825 bytes, sum 20854

This is the 4.3-reno version, suitably NeXTified.

Read the README regarding the -o option.

On a 2.0/2.1 system,
	% make all
	# make install

On a 1.0/1.0a system, first edit the Makefile to comment out
LDFLAGS= and uncomment LIBS=, then make as above.

Have fun.  :-)
