For efficiency, all versions of fortune rely on a binary header consisting mainly of offsets into the fortune file proper. . Modern versions of fortune keep this header in a separate file, and this is the style adopted by the Fortune module; the older style of munging the header and data into one large "compiled" file is not (currently) supported.
