by (...i think this should belong here, because i've never seen
on any other un*x system this form of fortune )
I read the manuals of fortune and strfile,
took a look to the already existing fortune-files,
and tried to make my own file.
The success was nearly ZERO:
The .dat file was created by strfile, and seemed to be ok,
but fortune myfile only displays the first entry.
To avoid any errors, i used the original zippy file,
and generated a new zippy.dat.
This .dat has the same size as the original, but diff says they differ.
And fortune behaves the same like on my file: only the first string is
printed. You never get any other string with fortune.
So my question is: What did i wrong ?
Which options MUST be used for strfile to get a valid fortune-file ?
Regards Wolfgang
