NAME

worms - animate worms on a display terminal

SYNOPSIS

worms [ -ft ] [ -length # ] [ -number # ]

DESCRIPTION

Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a TOPS-20 program on the DEC-2136 machine called WORM, and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under Unix. I did, and no apologies.

The options are as follows:

-f: makes a ``field'' for the worm(s) to eat.
-t: causes each worm to leave a trail behind it.

You can figure out the rest by yourself.
