Well, I just got the Minix version of fortune yesterday,
and it looks good.  However, I'm looking for a replacement for the
tiny fortunes.dat file (4k) that was included with it.  I've tried
just downloading the /usr/games/lib/fortunes.dat file on Unix
systems, but this appears to be encrypted (to keep people from peeking?).
Anyway, I would like a way to convert it to Minix fortune's straight-ASCII
format:

Fortune #1
%%
Fortune #2
%%

(etc.)

Anybody know how the fortunes.dat file is encrypted?  I'd look in the fortune
source, but we don't have it here...
