This is the infamous en-chef-er-ize-er program.  Cut the stuff below
and save it in a file named "chef.x".  This is input for `lex' which
you must have to be able to compile this program.  On most Unix-like
systems, this is what you do:

    lex chef.x
    cc -o chef lex.yy.c -ll

The first command uses `lex' to generate C code.  The second command
compiles the C code and produces the `chef' program (that is, a file
called "chef" which is executable).

Apparently the main reason people have problems compiling is because
some newsreaders have trouble saving a file without mangling it.  If
lex gives you error messages, check that the file looks right (check
for extra spaces or other strange characters).

The `chef' program reads standard input, and writes standard output.
Thus, for example, you might run it as follows:

% chef                                  "%" is the prompt
Where is the chicken?                   You type this.
Vhere-a is zee cheeckee?                The program gives ...
Bork Bork Bork!                         ... two lines of response.
^D                                      Control-D is end-of-file.

Or, if you have some English text in a file called "data", you might
run it like this to put the Mock Swedish into a filed called "junk":

% chef < data > junk

Have fun!  And send me any improvements...
