At 10:23 PM 2/6/2006, RickSisler said something remarkably like (but
somehow subtly different from):
woops, forgot the most important part:
in a terminal type the command:
strfile myquotes
(you may have to be root for this, but it worked for my regular
user just now)
It will create "myquotes.dat"
Then..

OK, I tried this, but when I run my script I get the error that my
database is not a fortune database. I had to run the strfile command
as root, and I tried running my script as root just to see if that
made any difference, bit it didn't. Any idea where this went wrong?
Thank you,
