i take no credit for this, but this is a really easy
way to do rotates.  simply:

% alias rot  'tr A-Za-z N-ZA-Mn-za-m'

then you can do a:

% rot < reallyfunnydirtyjoke > realyfunnydirtyjoke.rot

yes, yes, i know many have seen this before, but i though i'd tack
it on to the previous program so people can see a really simple alternative 
to re-inventing the wheel.  rotating is nothing more than translating
characters, so why not use tr??(tr stand for 'translate characters')
it's major fault is loss of generality, but then again, when have you seen 
something NOT rot13?

	eba   (that's ron rotated...)
