Feel free t' add t' Jive, but whateva', please leave my name in. Thanks. Jive be some nice little hack dat changes yoa' normal English text files into Jive. O P E R some T ah O N ================= Jive NEEDS some data stash, in de damn CURRENT directory, dat MUST be named "Jive.dat". dis stash contains English words, and deir Jive counterparts each followed by some "|". PLEASE NOTE, get dis: de damn English part must be some single word, and de damn Jive word(s) should be lowa' case, 'Scept fo' propa' nouns. Also, der must be 'SACTLY one word paa' pa' line. Fo' 'Sample, get dis: de damn|de damn| dis|dis| 'acuz|'acuz| ya' may append yoa' own words t' de damn list, but note dat it may contain no more than 100 words. CLI FORMAT, get dis: 1> Jive [-c] (de damn '-c' opshun removes certain copious words dat may be offensive t' some o' de damn more prudish folks.) Jive gots'ta almost certainly screw up de damn spacin' o' de damn stash, especially if it contains headers. Ya' know? de damn only solushun be t' go back in and manually remove and insert spaces where needed. Ya' know? But dat's easy fo' me t' say. P.S. : Just some final note, dis be some Great honky code t' use on de damn 'Doc' files fo' all yoa' favorite programs dat ya' post on de damn BBS Networks. What it is, Mama! P.P.S.
