It's probably worth mentioning that, considering the likelyhood (read: lack thereof) of any 'new releases' having to be merged into fortune(1), that it might be worthwhile to go hogwild and do more splitting up of the datfiles, perhaps even expanding fortune itself to have more 'categories' of humor to select from (all in favor of a Michelle Pfeiffer catalog say 'aye'). At the least, a seperate 'freebsdisms' file might be appropriate. Hmm... I'm starting to get far too many ideas. I hope I don't find the time to code them out, that could be trouble ;) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
