kenny.pl -- translate from and to KennySpeak
SYNOPSIS
kenny.pl [ -h ] [ -u ] [ -k | -d ] [ file1 ] [ file2 ] ...
OVERVIEW
kenny.pl translates a given text from or to KennySpeak. KennySpeak
looks like this:
"Ppfmfp ppmffm mfmppfmpm, fmpmfpmppffm'fpmmpp
pmpmffpmfpmfmppmpm Pmpmppppppppffm!"
DESCRIPTION
kenny.pl will read the given filenames, translate them and print the
results on stdout. If you don't give a filename, stdin is used. A - as
a filename means stdin.
Without any parameters, kenny.pl will look at the first line of input
and guess which way you want to translate. If kenny.pl guesses wrong,
you must select the translation mode using the -k or -d switch.
Switches
-h This will print a short notice and a quick summary of the
available switches.
-u This will convert German umlauts to Ae, Oe, Ue, ae, oe, ue and ss
so that they can be kennyfied correctly.
-k Kennyfy. This forces the input to be translated into KennySpeak.
-d Dekennyfy. This forces the input to be translated back from
KennySpeak.
VERSION
This is $Revision: 1.7 $.
BUGS
The -u switch might not work for charsets other than Latin-1. You might
try to convert the kenny.pl script using recode to change it from
Latin-1 to your preferred charset.
