"What is this "H4X0R.EXE", anyway?"

Well,  it  is  a program which converts  normal  text  to the so-called "kewl
text".  Y35,  i7  I5 4 pR0gR4m wHiCh  c0Nv3r75  n0RM41 73x7 70 7h3 50-c4113d
"k3w1 73x7". And it can use four different styles of the "kewl text"! 
:-) B-) ;-) :-) B-) ;-) :-) B-) ;-) :-) B-) ;-) :-) B-) ;-) :-) B-) ;-) :-) B-)

A word of explanation first: if you are a l4ym0r, you probably think that the
"kewl  text"  is  the way in which  true  hackers write their texts. Well, my
friend,  let  me explain you something: some  time  ago it was fashionable to
write  in  alternate caps and replace  some characters with numbers (and also
other symbols), but these days are gone. Nowadays, if you wRi73 7hI5 w4Y, you
will  not only be considered a l4ym0r and  a hacker wannabe, but also a plain
jerk  (if not an AOL user... joke! <g>). The only serious modern use for this
spelling  is  writing  humorous  hacking texts  -  vide  "The  H4x0r Brothers
Newsletters".  Thus,  you  should take this program  as  it  is - a joke, and
nothing more. Read on to find out more!


I,  the  author,  go  in hacking  "circles"  under  a different nick, without
revealing  my real name, and with a  different e-mail. However, unlike what I
do  there,  this program is not serious at  all, so I may safely give my name
and  a mail to contact me here. If you have some suggestions, you may contact
me at this address: jaromirk@kki.net.pl

USAGE: H4X0R.EXE <file_to_convert> <file_to_write_converted_text_to> <mode>

Example: H4X0R HACKERS.TXT H4X0R2.7X7 1

The file names cannot be the same. You should only use this program on plain
ASCII files, NOT on binaries, etc.! If you didn't know that, you're a moron!

Mode means the way that the text will be converted. You may use:
 1: normal mode - compliant with Basic H4x0r Brothers specifications. :)
    Random case conversion and numbers replacing certain letters (7hI5).
 2: extended mode - compliant with Extended H4x0r Brothers specifications :)
    and extended further by me. Numbers and symbols replace letters (7|-|/5).
 3: no numbers are used - only random case conversion (tHiS).
 4: "CoolText/Kuultext" (TM) VERY silly mode - VERY silly mode, designed
    by myself; inspired by some NFO files. Semigraphics replace letters (í)!

The default mode is the first one. Of course, this proggie will not "convert"
normal words to "kewl" words; that is, "elite" will not become "7337",
and "cool" will not turn into "kewl" (That should have been obvious!)


 H4X0R probably came from: http://www.kki.net.pl/jaromirk/c64joke/C64joke.htm


 And finally, some more specific information on the four modes:

MODE I - Basic: a,A=4; e,E=3; l,L=1; o,O=0; s,S=5; t,T=7; z,Z=2

MODE II - Extended: a,A=4; b,B=|8; c,C=(; d,D=|); e,E=3; f,F=|=; g,G=6;
          h,H=|-|; i,I=/; j,J=_|; k,K=|<; l,L=1; m,M=|\/|; n,N=|\|; o,O=0;
          p,P=|*; q,Q=0.; r,R=|2; s,S=5; t,T=7; u,U=|_|; v,V=\/; w,W=|/\|;
          x,X=}{; y,Y=`|'; z,Z=2

MODE III - Basic Lite: arE yOu KiDDinG? JuSt RaNDom CaSe CoNVeRsIOn!
           NoTHiNG mOrE, nOThInG lEsS!

MODE IV - CoolText/Kuultext (TM):
 a-    A-    b-    B-    c-    C-    d-    D-
 e-    E-    f-    F-    g-    G-    h-    H-
 i-    I-    j-    J-    k-    K-    l-    L-
 m-    M-    n-    N-    o-    O-    p-    P-
 q-    Q-@    r-    R-    s-    S-$    t-    T-
 u-    U-    v-    V-    w-    W-    x-    X-
 y-    Y-    z-    Z-


To convert text back to its original state, use UnH4X0R.EXE, which should
be distributed in H4X0R's package. Some notes for UnH4X0R? Blah! Not much
to say! UnH4X0R will try to restore the text files converted with H4X0R back
to their original state.

USAGE: UnH4X0R.EXE <file_to_restore> <file_to_write_restored_text_to> <mode>

Example: UnH4X0R H4X0R2.7X7 HACKERS.TXT 1

Modes:
 1: restore file converted with H4X0R using Mode I.
 2: oops! Mode II can't be restored now! Try using it to learn more!
 3: restore file converted with H4X0R using Mode III.
 4: restore file converted with H4X0R using Mode IV.

Files converted in Mode II cannot be restored now. Damn, I'm too lazy
to write a new algorithm just for this crap! Restore it in any text editor!
File names cannot be the same. The default mode is the first one.


And a final note for any hopeless l4ym0rs reading this: in the slang "l4ym0r"
stands for lamer, and "h4x0r" is... Well? Of course - hacker! That's all! L8r!

I said EOF!









No, really - it's the end of this file.







All right, all right. But now seriously - EOF it is. Reeeeeeaaaaaally it is.
