[net.puzzle] ROT N ?

Is there a standard utility for rotating the alphabet?  A lot of these
messages are 'ROT 13' or something of the sort.  It's possible to decode
by hand (tedious), or to write a rotation routine myself (only useful for
net.puzzle decription).  Why not use 'crypt' with 'SPOILER' as the keyword?

If you are using readnews, you can just hit <D> instead of <CR>.  As
described on the man page, this decrypts a message that is ROT13, like
just about everything is.
