This is a recent conversion of an old IBM Mainframe application
to the fortune datafile format.
The "laws" were extracted from a S/370 Assembler program on a SHARE tape.
The comments in the program:

Fortunes that a sufficiently twisted mind could perceive as offensive
have been moved to murphy-o. Thanks to the submitter for reviewing
these fortunes.

small typo fixes. Most have to do with periods and ellipses, but there
are some spelling, capitalization, and miscellaneous fixes. No meanings
have been changed.

The submitter also posted a change to 'fortunes.sp.ok', but it
looks like this file is no longer needed in our version so I've
left the typo in the file. (It also doesn't have a $FreeBSD$ tag,
and I couldn't easily find in the code whether it will allow comments
within it or not.)

case (make world, cross-compilation, simple `make' without `make world'
after incompatible options have been added to strfile, ...)

$$PATH *will* have a new strfile in /usr/bin built at build-tools
time, unless you defined NOTOOLS.
If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.
If you did not define NOTOOLS but things are not working, the error is
elsewhere. See logs for src/Makefine.inc1, particularly rev 1.36, and
revision 1.14 of this file.

process would be able to complete.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

/usr/games. I broke this in rev.1.9 by assuming that these tools
are in $PATH (as they are for `make world' unless NOTOOLS is set).
Revs.1.10-1.13 of this file had various wrong fixes. Rev.1.18

Fixed comments about what to comment out to [not] install the
potentially offensive fortunes. This should be configured using
an ifdef.
Fixed missing dependencies of fortunes.dat on fortunes, etc.
Removed bogus dependency of `all' on source files.
Fixed some style bugs.
path in src/Makefile.inc. The code that I'm backing out didn't work
anyway since exists() checks for a file in .PATH (and /usr/games/strfile
doesn't exist there), so the test was always defaulting to ../strfile/strfile
which breaks cross-compiled builds.
