.ig @(#)worms.6 2.1 7/1/84 @(#)Copyright (C) 1983 by National Semiconductor Corp. .. .TH WORMS 6 .SH NAME worms \- animate worms on a display terminal .SH SYNOPSIS .B worms [ .B -field ] [ .B -length # ] [ .B -number # ] [ .B -trail ] .SH DESCRIPTION .ad b Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a .I TOPS-20 program on the DEC-2136 machine called .IR WORM , and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under .IR Unix . I did, and no apologies. .PP .B -field makes a "field" for the worm(s) to eat; .B -trail causes each worm to leave a trail behind it. You can figure out the rest by yourself. .SH FILES /etc/termcap .SH AUTHOR Eric P. Scott .SH SEE ALSO .IR Snails , by Karl Heuer .SH DIAGNOSTICS Invalid length .br Value not in range 2 <= length <= 1024 .sp Invalid number of worms .br Value not in range 1 <= number <= 40 .sp TERM: parameter not set .br The .B TERM environment variable is not defined. Do .sp \fBTERM=\fRterminal type .br \fBexport TERM\fR .sp Unknown terminal type .br Your terminal type (as determined from the .B TERM environment variable) is not defined in .BR /etc/termcap . .sp Terminal not capable of cursor motion .br Your terminal is too stupid to run this program. .sp Out of memory .br This should never happen on a VAX. .SH BUGS The lower-right-hand character position will not be updated properly on a terminal that wraps at the right margin. .PP Terminal initialization is not performed. .PP There should be an option to have the worms eat .I Pink Floyd lyrics.
