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 re-
     sults 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 KennyS-
	  peak.

VERSION
     This is $Revision: 1.7 $.

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.
