Hi, I'm a bundle subscriber to the list, but don't have it's
address, since it's not included on the bundle subscriptions. Could you
please post the following to the List, as well as send me it's address.
Thanx.

Subject: Re: Vargr random word generator (how to get the source code)
The source code to this is availiable for ftp on
potemkin.cs.pdx.edu AKA 131.252.20.145
in the dir of pub/frp/src/name/ under the file of name2.c , this
program is set to generate a set of vowells and consonants , switching on
every other word, but is done in such a way that it is easily modifiable. I
for instance, knowing nothing about C, was able to rewrite it to remove the
vowell section and change the consonants to do Japanese syllables for my
fantasy world (the most common language of which, 'the fairy tongue', uses the
Japanese pronounciation system, but with different words).
You may also find it helpful to get everything in this directory if
using Unix. If so you should move name2.c over name.c , as name2.c is simply
'version 2' of name.c.
Simple modification of this program can be used to generate any naming
system, and if my connection to rn was working right now, I might post this to
rec.games.frp ....
