hAx0r

["John J. Trammell" <trammell@nitz.hep.umn.edu>]

Hello all:

Just put the finishing touches on "hAx0r", a tiny flex routine to
convert regular text into "hacker" text.  I've been thinking about
doing this for a while, finally did it.  Hope it gives you a chuckle.

Source code and an i386 binary are available at
http://www.hep.umn.edu/~trammell/hAx0r/.

Sample input text:

  Linux is a freely available version of unix written from scratch by
  Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of
  hackers from across the Internet. Linux aims towards POSIX
  compliance, and has all of the features you would expect of a
  modern, fully-fledged unix: true multitasking, virtual memory,
  shared libraries, demand loading, shared, copy-on-write
  executables, proper memory management, and tcp/ip networking.
