SYNOPSIS
(VMS)

(MAC)

DESCRIPTION
The meo program may be run for any of the following pur-
poses:
The overthrow of the known space-time-continuum
To amuse, confuse and befuddle the masses
To waste millions of net.$$$ on stuff best used as a
soporiphic
GLOBAL VARIABLES
FOOD may be set to Mexican or Tex-Mex instead of chocolate.
Italian is also acceptable. Setting this to liver will
likely cause a core dump, which may prove difficult to
remove from your carpet.
DRESS
may be set to casual or swim wear only. Other
values, such as formal, will likely cause unwanted
side-effects, including rabid ranting and raving.
GLASSES
is hard-coded to YES to preclude massive loss of life
on the interstate.
STATE
may be any or all of the following values: Texas,
Florida, Berserk, Deluded.
TASTE
may be either None or None.
VERBOSE
should be left OFF. Newer models generally have this
switch hard-coded, but make sure anyway. If VERBOSE is
ever set to ON the only possible use of the meo program
will be as an infinite fillibuster-buster.
REQUIREMENTS
Large quantities of chocolate in any form, several Cokes
and/or Dr Peppers, a fast system with lots of disk, any good
electric guitar with LOUD amp, and twisty, scenic motorcycle
routes. If Mexican food is used in lieu of chocolate, vast
quantities of authentic Mexican food are preferred, but any
decent substitute in volume will work.
