I can't locate rot13 anywhere on my my disk, and I used a a standard install from the 2.2.2 CD. Where did you hide it? Actually, I can see rot13 being a game of sorts. Also, it can be used to test caesar. I think you should leave the leftover fragments of computer history around. After all, those ancient guys from the 60s and 70s did invent unix. Ever play one of the trek variants on a 10 character per second teletype? It would make an amusing retro-experience these days. Charles Mott
