| 24 | Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a | |
| 25 | .I TOPS-20 | |
| 26 | program on the DEC-2136 machine called | |
| 27 | .IR WORM , | |
| 28 | and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under | |
| 29 | .IR Unix . | |
| 30 | I did, and no apologies. | |

32 | The options are as follows: |
| 33 | .TP | |
| 34 | .I -f | |
| 35 | makes a ``field'' for the worm(s) to eat. | |
| 36 | .TP | |
| 37 | .I -t | |
| 38 | causes each worm to leave a trail behind it. | |
| 39 | .PP | |
| 40 | You can figure out the rest by yourself. | |
