Well, you aren't missing much. GSLOP is pretty obscure and hard to use, and
NOBODY who uses it would even consider using the GLIZ or SCROB options. The
WOGMOFF option is the only thing worthwhile, and that is handled better by
using:

frap | WOG | MOFF -f | weez >>/dev/gnarf

So don't worry about it.
