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

as an afterthought --- perhaps if todd is bored sometime, he'll add this to the web interface. (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish)

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! -- Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde -- (...)
