Okay, okay...here's the rot-ryehtxt program I've been using. *I* did
not write this routine, nor did I write the original program that it was
based on.

Everything here seems to be public domain, but I suggest we keep all
credits intact.

History:

	Version 0.1 by Camille le Monies de Sagazan. A program to produce 
		    an infinite number of words (in rlyehtalk) is posted. 

	Version 0.2 by scotts@math.orst.edu (Scott Settlemier) modifies
		    the program to take an arguement for the number of
		    words.

	Version 1.0 by Stephen Beitzel & Ilsa Van Hook with 
		    meddling by Thorgrim Hove
		    is the first real "translating" routine that
		    takes a file as input.

	Version 1.1 by morpheus@sage.cc.purdue.edu
                    (creates a dictionary so you can rot back and forth)

	Version 2.0 by morpheus@sage.cc.purdue.edu
		    (more/better ryleht encryption)

	All versions created November, 1992, between Nov 3rd and 11th.

I think these credits are correct, but since I am looking at old News
articles, it is possible that they are wrong. I'm willing to correct the
history. All version numbers are my own creation, and I'm willing to follow
a more standardized scheme.

Because of the short developement time, some parallel programming was done,
particularly on versions 0.2 and 1.0.

Here's the original "man" page from 1.1

Following up on whoever posted the r'lyeh word generator, I had the
inspiration to hack out a quick program that takes a text file and
translates it into R'lyeh and back again.  I just hacked it out, so
I make no guarantees that there are no bugs in it (and obviously it
is not commented, sorry (but Real Programmers _never_ comment code)).

compile the program, and invoke it with the name of a file, and it
will output the R'lyeh translation to the screen.  If the output is
redirected into a file, the program can be invoked with the -x flag
and the name of the R'lyeh-text program and will then translate it
back into plain English (or whatever language you started with).

Note that he program uses some of the code from the other fellow's
program (sorry, I seem to have lost the name of who is was) and
generates new words on the fly, only occasionally asking you if a
given word is actually a name (since it does not translate names).
The given english (or whatever) words are saved into a file with
their associated R'lyeh words the program generates.

Granted, this is just a novelty, but it's still interesting (to me
at least), and it was an excuse to avoid doing anything related to
class-work.

Now if only I had some more "authentic" R'lyeh words to add to the
list in this program to make the generated R'lyeh-text more
"authentic" as well.
