Is there a way to save a joke decrypted? 'D' does not work. Scott DeWerd /* End of text from uiucuxa:net.jokes */ Try the following shell script: tr "[a-m][n-z][A-M][N-Z]" "[n-z][a-m][N-Z][A-M]" If you save it as 'rot13' (be sure to use chmod to get execute permission) then all you have to do to encrypt or decrypt a file is rot13outfile I hope this helps.
