Well, since the do_sort script uses `sort -u', then I think it's a safe assumption that the fortune database was not intended to contain duplicates. I suspect those that differ in mere whitespace or punctuation (or misspelled attribution) should be considered erroneous. I'm not so sure about duplicates between files. There is a substantial amount of duplication between fortunes and fortunes2; I think fortunes is intended to be ``small'', and fortunes2 is intended to be ``almost everything''. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
