(This is my first BIG post, so if you want to flame, flame low and send away)

   For those still silly over the LAST puzzle/challange.... here's another one.

Puzzle:
  Write a "simple" program to convert rec.humor (rot13) jokes to
    a output readable by human eyes...

Simple rules:
   1) It works.
   2) I can understand it.
   3) Sources in "C", Pascal, MOD-2, Pilot, or csh-source
                  format are acceptable.

Two catagories.
   a) fastest
   b) smallest (least # of characters not including standard_IO includes or
        main(arg,arg) {} code, and  ignoring white space '/n', <SPACE>
        (CR's,LF's,etc) for readablity.

Two levels of difficulty:
  1) using builtin functions of a OS   i.e. ">" "<" for UNIX
  2) using standard file operations of open/close.

  Here's an example 
( not working and NOT tested, only by my limited knowledge of c )


  main()
  {
	char c;

	while((c=getchar()!=EOF)
		if( (('a' < c) && ('z' > c)) || (('A' < c) && ('Z' > c)) ) {
			c=lower(c);
			putchar( (c>'m' : c-13 ? c+13) );
		}
}


(I'll summurize and post results..., good luck and may the gods go with you...)
