===================================================


Purpose:
   This program places a very cute (and familiar to FurryMuck fans)
   accent to any text file.  It is designed for UNIX systems.  
   It requires cc, lex, and yacc to be in your path.

Compiling:
   To compile on a UNIX system, type 'make'

Running:
   To do a line-by-line translation of your text, type 'ky00te'.
   Control-D will halt the program.

   To convert a text file and display it on the screen, type
   'ky00te < filename | more', where filename is the file to convert.

   To convert a text file and save it to a file, type
   'ky00te < filename.in > filename.out', where filename.in is the
   file to convert and filename.out is the place to put it.

   You can also add an accent to the output of any program by
   typing '<normal program execution> | ky00te'. 

Petting the cat:
   Stroke with the furs, not against them.

====================================================

Program version information:

Program version 1.00:  13 December 1994

Program version 1.10:  15 December 1994
   Version 1.00 was a memory hog.  Also, adds 'fur' and 'meow' to
list of cat-ch phrases.  

Program version 1.11:  16 December 1994
   With Tobias Kuhler's (ukjp@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) repeated suggestion,
   the program now only doubles (not triples) 'r' and no longer capitalizes
   fur.  He also suggested the following improvements:
          at a, at the -> atta
          in a, in the -> ynna
          is a, is the -> yssa
          on a, on the -> onna
      with a, with the -> wyffa
                   the -> da
                   you -> ya
                   and -> 'n
                  with -> wyf
                    to -> ta

   This version also no longer uses the same 'meow'; it switches between
   'meow', 'mew', and 'mu' (weighted to the first).

   I've also added:
	        lot of -> lotta
	         is so -> yssa
		  when -> w'en
		  with -> wyf   (when used to start a word)
                  your -> yer
	      not, n't -> na'
	      

   The README file has been reorganized, and the dedication made explicit.
