- Well, tr '[a-zA-Z]' '[n-za-mN-ZA-M]' suffices for the rot13--but we all knew
- that.
-
- Run /usr/dict/words through it, or a better wordlist if you have one.
- Then do 'sort /usr/dict/words words_13 | uniq -d' to find out all the words
- that appear in both files. That's how whatsizname got the list he posted
- earlier, no doubt, since it seems to match up.
-
- Or you can do what I do, which is to go through every single post you read on
- talk.bizarre(or elsewhere on Usenet)and rot13 it, looking for words. That's
- how I found 'abjurer', since gypsy or somebody used 'nowhere' in their post.
- Abjurer isn't in /usr/dict/words, though.
