LOST (GNU/Linux-One-Stanza Tips) are available in two forms for
download:
LOST datadir format, where each snippet is maintained as a
seperate file in a directory (./signature/LOST/) with numerical
prefixes and .lost as suffix (viz. 002.lost, 045,lost, 218.lost
etc). Being single files, they are easier to handle within
scripts.
fortune flatfile format. This is the whole LOST collection as a
single flat-file database in the format used by the "fortune"
program. This file can be used by fortune and similar programs
available on all *nices.
Both these types have their own controlling scripts for
integration with various mailers and other purposes. In case
you are downloading for the first time, ensure you download the
associated scripts from the respective download links.
If you are looking for the tips alone, just the LOST tarball is
adequate.
