WORMS(6)                                                 WORMS(6)


NAME
       worms  -  animate worms on a display terminal

SYNOPSIS
       worms [ -ft ] [ -length # ] [ -number # ]

DESCRIPTION
       Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a TOPS-20 program on the
       DEC-2136 machine called WORM, and suggested that I write a
       similar  program that would run under Unix.  I did, and no
       apologies.

       The options are as follows:

       -f     makes a ``field'' for the worm(s) to eat.

       -t     causes each worm to leave a trail behind it.

       You can figure out the rest by yourself.

BUGS
       The  lower-right-hand  character  position  will  not   be
       updated  properly  on  a  terminal that wraps at the right
       margin.
