Hmm... isn't that making it more complicated, though - requiring strfile on 
the builder's computers?  dat files are noarch, and tiny - why not just 
include them?  Every fortune addon rpm that I have on my system includes the 
dat file in the package. 
 
Michael: Dat files are designed to make it so that fortune doesn't have to 
read through every fortune file it has every time the user runs it (as you may 
have noticed, fortune files can get pretty sizable, as far as text file sizes 
go).  Think of the dat file as an index.
