NAME
     rotor - ROT-13 any text

SYNOPSIS
     rotor.exe

DESCRIPTION
     RotoR is an applet that allows you to easily encode or decode text
     using the ROT-13 algorithm. This encryption algorithm is commonly
     used on Usenet to enable people not to read a text which might be
     offensive, spoiling or otherwise have reasons not to be read.
     rotor.exe is a 32-bit Windows executable for Windows 95, Windows
     98, Windows NT or Windows 2000.

     The ROT-13 algorithm is a simple Ceasar-cypher that encrypts each
     character by replacing it by the one 13 positions further in the
     alphabet, wrapping around if necessary. As a rule each uppercase
     letter remains uppercase, each lowercase letter lowercase, and
     digits and punctuation symbols are left unchanged. Since the
     alphabet contains 26 letters, encrypted text can be decrypted by
     applying the ROT-13 algorithm a second time.

     When RotoR is started, it presents you its main window in which a
     text can be typed. The text will be rotated when you click the
     Rotate-button, or hit the Enter-key on the keyboard. Clicking the
     Rotate-button or pressing the Enter-key again will rotate the text
     back. Pressing the Exit-button or hitting Esc on the keyboard will
     terminate RotoR.

     The program was written with the following way of using it in mind:
     The program is started and forgot about, until either some
     encrypted text is encountered, e.g. on an Internet page viewed in
     Netscape, or you want to encrypt something, e.g. when writing a
     news posting while off line.

     To decrypt existing text you select the encrypted text in the
     application and choose Edit, Copy (or Ctrl-C, or Ctrl-Insert) to
     copy the text to the clipboard. Then you switch to RotoR, paste the
     text from the clipboard using Ctrl-V or Shift-Insert, and press
     Enter. The rotated text will show in the same window.

     To encrypt your own text, just type it in RotoR's window and press
     the Enter-key. The text is rotated and conveniently selected so you
     can hit Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Insert to copy it to the clipboard, switch
     to the application in which you are writing the text and choose
     Edit, Paste (or Ctrl-V, or Shift-Insert) there.

     RotoR has no settings, does not create files, and thus has no
     installation program. Installing it is as simple as putting it
     somewhere and running it from there. To uninstall, remove it again.
