HALS_END(6) Games Manual HALS_END(6) NAME hals_end -- Display HAL's last words on the console SYNOPSIS hals_end [-f] DESCRIPTION hals_end displays the famous last words of the supercomputer HAL 9000 aboard the space-ship in Stanley Kubrick's movie "2001 - A Space Odissey". Options: -f Fast forward. Every movie can be played back with fast forward. This option will double the speed of the output. HISTORY hals_end first appeared in the book "Total Interaction" (ISBN 978-3-7643-7076-3) where its source code and output illustrates the article "Remembering the Future: Memory and Interaction" by Dr. Regine Halter. The source code was set in contrast to the graphical artwork "HAL's lifespace" by Catherine Walthard. "HAL's Lifespace" and "hals_end" were respectively designed and written for this article. AUTHORS hals_end was written by Marc Balmer <marc@msys.ch>. BUGS Unlike the real HAL, this program can be repeately run. There should be functionality in the program to destroy itself after one run. The ratio- nale for not doing this right now is that the movie itself can be watched several times as well. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly January 6, 2016 HALS_END(6)
