sorry, not available :( maybe permissions of some sort have to be set?
and can somebody reverse-engineer a strfiled dat file?
LIH, I just sent Dodobh a fortunes.dat file (compiled on a solaris 2.6
box), but he can't get it to work.
Can he either
1. Fix this
or
2. Reverse the process and end up with plaintext?
ps - You _may_ want to try the "strings" utility to get these -
$ strings fortunes.dat
