Create these aliases for the CSH:

alias rot tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'
alias unrot tr 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' 'A-Za-z'

To rot:  [place text in 'filename']
		rot < filename >filename.roted
To unrot [derotate]: [place text in 'filename.roted']
		unrot < filename.roted >filename

There are also commands within some news reading systems to unrot text.
