I'm not sure Windows 98 understands rot13, perl, or whatever it is you wrote
that in ...  ;-)

But thanks anyway!!  If anyone knows of shareware or preferably freeware
that decodes rot13 gibberish, let me know!

Which reminds me, I must find out if some program HAS a ROT13 decoder!!
slrn does.  :)

Netscape's newsreader used to be able to, but I just looked, and they seem
to have taken it out, or at least moved it.

Of course, there's always:

#!/usr/bin/perl
foreach ('a'..'m', 'A'..'M') {
    $q = chr(ord($_)+13);
    $p{$_} = $q; $p{$q} = $_;
}
while (<>) { s#(.)#$p{$1}#g; print; }

or

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

def main():
    text = sys.stdin.read()
    for x in range(len(text)):
        byte = ord(text[x])
        cap = (byte & 32)
        byte = (byte & (~cap))
        if (byte >= ord('A')) and (byte <= ord('Z')):
            byte = ((byte - ord('A') + 13) % 26 + ord('A'))
        byte = (byte | cap)
        sys.stdout.write(chr(byte))

main()


or even

DECLARE FUNCTION Rot13$ (S AS STRING)
DIM S AS STRING

INPUT "", S
WHILE S <> ""
        PRINT Rot13$(S)
        INPUT "", S
WEND

FUNCTION Rot13$ (S AS STRING)
        DIM I, J AS INTEGER
        DIM T AS STRING

        FOR I = 1 TO LEN(S)
                J = ASC(MID$(S, I, 1))
                IF J >= 65 AND J <= 90 THEN
                        J = ((J - 52) MOD 26) + 65
                ELSEIF J >= 97 AND J <= 122 THEN
                        J = ((J - 84) MOD 26) + 97
                END IF
                T = T + CHR$(J)
        NEXT I
        Rot13$ = T
END FUNCTION

(...) Try this link (URL) type the text and press the TRANSLATE button (works both ways). Alternately try one of these programs... (URL) just search for "rot13" with any search engine (Altavista, Yahoo, etc.) Axel (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish)
