NAME
cursive - print text in cursive script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/cursive [ -in ] [ -tn ] [message]
DESCRIPTION
Cursive prints a line of text in a rather crude cursive
script. It is intended for use mainly for the generation of
decorative signatures for electronic mail. If message text
is given on the command line, that text is used. Otherwise
the text will be read from standard input up to an end of
file. The -i option sets the minimum spacing between adja-
cent characters. The default is -i1 . The -t option sets
the length of the trailing lines on the end of each word.
The default is -t1 .
The '_' character is treated in a special way. It may be
inserted in the text anywhere you wish to lengthen a con-
necting line between two letters.
BUGS
Many ASCII characters are not defined, notably the numbers
and symbols. Punctuation is mostly available. Some charac-
ters are rather ugly. The author has lousy handwriting.
