Short: English to NewSpeak filter
Author: Jamie Zawinski <jwz@lucid.com>
Uploader: Peter J Mills <peter@tyranny.demon.co.uk>
Type: text/misc
This is just a rapid recompilation of the old lexical filter which
attempts to transform English text into NewSpeak (NewSpeak being
the mode of speech in Orwell's "1984").
I have included the original flex source, as distributed, and a
version compiled with GNU Flex 2.52 and SAS/C. I don't claim that
it has been compiled in the best, fastest or most efficient
manner. It should run on a bog standard 68000 (I think), and works
just fine on a 68060. I have no idea how much memory it needs, or
what colour your mouse pointer should be. It works for me, doesn't
trash anything. If it causes you any problems, that's your lookout-
use entirely at your own risk. Recompile it if it causes problems...
o Usage is as a filter, an example is:
newspeak <congress.txt >newcon.txt
o See the enclosed HTML file for example output :->
o All other information may be found in the flex src itself.
o Hail Big Brother!
