NAME
    kenny.pl -- translate from and to KennySpeak

SYNOPSIS
    kenny.pl [ -h ] [ -u ] [ -k | -d ] [ *file1* ] [ *file2* ] ...

OVERVIEW
    kenny.pl translates a given text from or to KennySpeak. KennySpeak looks
    like this:

        "Ppfmfp ppmffm mfmppfmpm, fmpmfpmppffm'fpmmpp
         pmpmffpmfpmfmppmpm Pmpmppppppppffm!"

DESCRIPTION
    kenny.pl will read the given filenames, translate them and print the
    results on stdout. If you don't give a filename, stdin is used. A - as a
    filename means stdin.

    Without any parameters, kenny.pl will look at the first line of input
    and guess which way you want to translate. If kenny.pl guesses wrong,
    you must select the translation mode using the -k or -d switch.

  Switches
    -h   This will print a short notice and a quick summary of the available
         switches.

    -u   This will convert German umlauts to Ae, Oe, Ue, ae, oe, ue and ss
         so that they can be kennyfied correctly.

    -k   Kennyfy. This forces the input to be translated into KennySpeak.

    -d   Dekennyfy. This forces the input to be translated back from
         KennySpeak.

VERSION
    This is $Revision: 1.8 $.

BUGS
    The -u switch might not work for charsets other than Latin-1. You might
    try to convert the kenny.pl script using recode to change it from
    Latin-1 to your preferred charset.
