-The division of fortunes into offensive and non\-offensive by directory,
-rather than via the `\-o' file infix, is not 100% compatible with
-original BSD fortune. Although the `\-o' infix is recognised as referring
-to an offensive database, the offensive database files still need to be
-in a separate directory. The workaround, of course, is to move the `\-o'
-files into the offensive directory (with or without renaming), and to
-use the
-.B \-a
-option.

The supplied fortune databases have been attacked, in order to correct
orthographical and grammatical errors, and particularly to reduce
redundancy and repetition and redundancy. But especially to avoid

-This fortune also supports the BSD method of appending ``\-o'' to
-database names to specify offensive fortunes. However this is
-.B not
-how fortune stores them: offensive fortunes are stored in a separate
-directory without the ``\-o'' infix. A plain name (i.e., not a path to a
-file or directory) that ends in ``\-o'' will be assumed to be an
-offensive database, and will have its suffix stripped off and be
-searched in the offensive directory (even if the neither of the
-.IR \-a " or " \-o
-options were specified). This feature is not only for
-backwards\-compatibility, but also to allow users to distinguish between
-inoffensive and offensive databases of the same name.

-For example, assuming there is a database named
-.I definitions
