   Then the file that fortune reads from will require all the data (taglines) to   
   be less then the maximum length.  Extremely doable.

   No sweat.  Piece of cake for a purely commandline/scripting interface.  It can   
   even do ansi without breaking into a sweat but the default linux terminal is   
   the best there is so that is what I use.  <=78 characters is no real problem.    
   I could train a monkey to create the proper access file.  :-)   
      
   Life is good,
