Using encryption on the Internet is the equivalent of arranging
an armoured car to deliver credit card information from someone
living in a cardboard box to someone living on a park bench.

53365f4b43 Give a better advice on how to convert DOS text to UNIX text.
The former tip used `col -bx', which would not only discard
CR's, but also expand TAB's and remove BS'en.  This effect is
not always wanted.

be2ff1d140 Make the on-disk format of .dat files produced by strfile(8)
architecture independent.  Besides the fixed-width types in
the header, the offsets are now stored as 64-bit off_t (also
in big endian format).

0b4978b4ea An aggressive little script I used to trim out duplicate fortunes. 2005-02-07 21:15:16 +00:00
Ruslan Ermilov
6325a5d282 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants).  The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.

1269b8ed60 Fix bugs.
Due to one of the bugs (^C was the first character of each line
when sorting), the -b option of sort(1) didn't take any effect,
so stay bug-compatible, and remove the -b option.
