ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. README ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Jive and valspeak are filters that take an ordinary text file and change
selected words into jive (or valspeak). The original author of these programs
is not listed in the source code; they were submitted to mod.sources.games by
Adams Douglas (adamsd@crash.UUCP).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. OS/2 Port Notes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Changes:
o Makefile changed to compile both jive and valspeak as default.
o IPF help file added in place of documentation. (README, etc.)
o Small explanation of what jive and valspeak are included.
This was compiled with emx-0.8f but it does not require EMX.DLL.
Since the full, unmodified source and documentation was not included, I am
obligated to tell you that you can get it from the archive site
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume01

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Description of the "jive" program ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Jive is a text filter. It takes input from standard input on the command line
(by default, the keyboard), and writes its output to standard output (by
default, the screen).
Jive will take a normal document as input and translate it into a more
"soul-sounding" document. As an example, I took the first couple paragraphs
from Michael Crichton's excellent novel, Rising Sun, and I ran it through the
jive filter on the command line by typing:
jive < sample.txt > sample.jiv
Here's sample.txt...
Actually, I was sitting on my bed in my apartment in Culver
City, watching the Lakers game with the sound turned off, while I tried
to study vocabulary for my introductory Japanese class.
It was a quiet evening; I had gotten my daughter to sleep about
eight. Now I had the cassette player on the bed, and the cheerful
woman's voice was saying things like, "Hello, I am a police officer.
Can I be of assistance?" and "Please show me the menu." After each
sentence, she paused for me to repeat it back, in Japanese. I stumbled
along as best I could. Then she would say, "The vegetable store is
closed. Where is the post office?" Things like that. Sometimes it was
hard to concentrate, but I was trying. "Mr. Hayashi has two children."
And here's sample.jiv...

Valspeak is a text filter. It takes input from standard input on the command
line (by default, the keyboard), and writes its output to standard output (by

Valspeak will take a normal document as input and translate it into a more
"valley-girl sounding" document. As an example, I took the first couple
paragraphs from Michael Crichton's excellent novel, Rising Sun, and I ran it
through the jive filter on the command line by typing:
valspeak < sample.txt > sample.val
