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.

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.

Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar

        There are wavelengths that people cannot see, there are
sounds that people cannot hear, and maybe computers have thoughts
that people cannot think.

16f4e196f2 In the build process, fortune files have been randomized since at
least the 4.4-lite days.  This is pointless, since fortune(6) performs
its own randomization.  It was also problematic for binary update
systems such as ports/security/freebsd-update.  This commit simply
removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.
