6c5bcb1fd2 Correct an error in the previous revision. RAND_MAX is the maximum value
for rand(3), not random(3).  random(3) is defined to return values between
0 and 2^31-1, so add a local RANDOM_MAX constant to this file that is
defined as 2^31-1 and use that in place of RAND_MAX.

999d3f2f2a Add Farnsworth support to morse(6).
(For those interested: this is intented to extend the space between
characters to help people learning morse code by giving the brain some
extra time for acoustical pattern recognition.)

Note: I slightly cleaned up the submitted patch for minor stylistic
issues, and changed the default for the new -c option to be identical
to -w.

ada215ee45 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.

a75ee2a221 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.
