Damn!
I've got some hard hards to repay! Thanks heaps.
What I ended up doing...
rm outputfile
cd /usr/share/games/fortunes/
for i int $(ls|grep -v '\.dat$')
do
        cat $i >> outputfile
done
Thanks again
Now you can be blessed with more than just one of my fortunes!
Cheers
Anton

the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased -- he hates
all creative people equally.
