[comp.sys.mac] ValSpeak / Valley Speak ?

stgeorge@pnet51.orb.mn.org (Steve George) (06/29/90)

 Hi.  I'd like to locate an old Mac (I think) APP or DA that made
 the rounds several years ago called (possibly) ValSpeak.  While
 it didn't actually speak, it would take a 'normal' textfile and
 munge it up to read like something straight out of San Fernando
 Valley, like fersher.  If you know of the program or where it can
 be found (or if you have it and its pd or shareware), please let
 me know.
 
 It probably goes without saying, but, I do not have ftp ability.) 
 
 ...like radically bitchin' dude...

The utility (at least the one I know about) was a UNIX(R) utility written in
lex.  Yes, "valspeak" was its name.  Unfortunately, I have only a copy of the
compiled binary (on a mainframe, no less).  I'd like to see the lex source
again one of these days, just for fun.
