NAME
worms - animate worms on a display terminal
SYNOPSIS
worms [ -ft ] [ -length # ] [ -number # ]
DESCRIPTION
Brian Horn (cithep!bdh) showed me a TOPS-20 program on the DEC-2136 machine called WORM , and suggested that I write a similar program that would run under Unix . I did, and no apologies.

The options are as follows:

-f makes a ``field'' for the worm(s) to eat.

-t causes each worm to leave a trail behind it.

You can figure out the rest by yourself.

BUGS
The lower-right-hand character position will not be updated properly on a terminal that wraps at the right margin.
