+.SH AUTHORS
+Bill Joy and Olivier Roubine
+.SH BUGS
+You can't send an end-of-file through a pipe.
+Thus hitting control-D in dribble will bring the world crashing down.
+If you hit `EOF' followed immediately by a control-D dribble
+tries to fake an EOF which is good enough to fool some programs,
+notably not
+.IR ex (UCB).
+
+Some programs expect standard input to be a teletype and act strangely
+when dribbled because it isn't.
