On Thu, Feb 18, 1999 at 05:18:00PM -0500, a little birdie told me
that Mikhail Teterin remarked

Interesting.
The relevant code it this:
if ((isdir && !add_dir(fp)) ||
(!isdir &&
!is_fortfile(path, &fp->datfile, &fp->posfile, (parent != NULL))))
{
if (parent == NULL)
fprintf(stderr,
"fortune:%s not a fortune file or directory\n",
path);
around line 540-ish in fortune.c.
I'll look into this a bit more, see if I can't make up something.
