  19 Purpose:
  20    This program places a very cute (and familiar to FurryMuck fans)
  21    accent to any text file.  It is designed for UNIX systems.
  22    It requires cc, lex, and yacc to be in your path.
  23
  24 Compiling:
  25    To compile on a UNIX system, type 'make'
  26
  27 Running:
  28    To do a line-by-line translation of your text, type 'ky00te'.
  29    Control-D will halt the program.
  30
  31    To convert a text file and display it on the screen, type
  32    'ky00te < filename | more', where filename is the file to convert.
  33
  34    To convert a text file and save it to a file, type
  35    'ky00te < filename.in > filename.out', where filename.in is the
  36    file to convert and filename.out is the place to put it.
  37
  38    You can also add an accent to the output of any program by
  39    typing '<normal program execution> | ky00te'.

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

  46 Program version information:
  47
  48 Program version 1.00:  13 December 1994
  49
  50 Program version 1.10:  15 December 1994
  51    Version 1.00 was a memory hog.  Also, adds 'fur' and 'meow' to
  52 list of cat-ch phrases.
  53
  54 Program version 1.11:  16 December 1994
  55    With Tobias Kuhler's (ukjp@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) repeated suggestion,
  56    the program now only doubles (not triples) 'r' and no longer capitalizes
  57    fur.  He also suggested the following improvements:
  58           at a, at the -> atta
  59           in a, in the -> ynna
  60           is a, is the -> yssa
  61           on a, on the -> onna
  62       with a, with the -> wyffa
  63                    the -> da
  64                    you -> ya
  65                    and -> 'n
  66                   with -> wyf
  67                     to -> ta
  68
  69    This version also no longer uses the same 'meow'; it switches between
  70    'meow', 'mew', and 'mu' (weighted to the first).
  71
  72    I've also added:
  73                 lot of -> lotta
  74                  is so -> yssa
  75                   when -> w'en
  76                   with -> wyf   (when used to start a word)
  77                   your -> yer
  78               not, n't -> na'
