README for rot13
================

For installation instructions, see the INSTALL file.

I started writing this program over 3 years ago.  It was just an 
interesting exercise to teach myself how file I/O worked in C.  It's
not a filter like the one built into Netscape and gnus, it was written 
to be run over files (although it can now provide that functionality
by being called from vi or another program).  

Since I had been using Linux for a few years but wasn't a very good
programmer, I really wanted to make a contribution to the community
myself...so I announced rot13 on c.o.l.a. and was almost flamed out of 
existence for creating a program that did the same thing as the "tr" 
command...but without as much functionality.

Luckily a few people actually used it and two even sent in code
changes, from which I learned a great deal and which I immediately
folded into my own code.

And I hope (as always) that someone finds this useful.  I don't think
there's any better way to honor the spirit of the free software
community :)

Here is a simplified format of the rot13 command line:

	rot13 [options] [filename]

For succinct help, just do "rot13 -h".
For in-depth information, see the man page.
