This is bongfilter
There is now an alternate character substitution list which will substitute multicharacter strings for certain characters, e.g., /< for K. Configure at your own peril.
This was found embedded in an old Brotherhood of Warez e-zine as a uuencoded file, we took it out, cleaned it up, and are attempting to restore it to its glory.
The original author (Glasshead/hojunya@ecf.toronto.edu) is no where to be found.

(more usage information)
- bongfilter can take input from the command line, or it can take
info from a pipe, eg: "ls -al | bongfilt -none -alw"
- the option -none adds no characters for inverse/underline/bold.
- the option -alw always substitutes, and -ran substitutes sometimes.
- for your ircII clients, probably the easiest way to incorporate
bongfilter is to add an alias:
/ALIAS bongf exec -out [path]/bongfilt -irc -ran
(or -alw instead of -ran, its up to you)
and invoking it by: /bongf text here
from within your ircII client.
