Why, the blorchificate option, of course. Isn't it obvious??? Well, that's the obvious answer, and I did try it, but when I pipe the output of ``gronkzix'' through ``kranfungle'' it can't handle the extra plorniquats and dumps core, leaving my terminal in yillruction mode. Now: how can I get properly floogled output without causing kranfungle to vountiplake? Hmm... I think I encountered a similar problem when sending the output of ``blognort'' to ``kranfungle''. The fix was a kludge, but what I did was run it all as a sub-grofnit of rugnificate. But be careful to give the frimboogle option to rugnificate, or it'll leave the terminal in the frungix discipline. This is especially dangerous if you have a multiplexed greelymond running in the background. Frobnicate and enjoy.
