Hello David.

ROT13 is a simple 'encryption' code (think of the 'Simple Caesar') that people 
use in USENET to prevent joke punchlines and tv show plot spoilers from being
read until you're ready.  GoldEd also supports this, but it's not encouraged
to use this in FidoNet.

It's extremely easy to write a program that does the same thing.

Later,
Sean
