Slow Cat

Slowcat is utility for 'human reading' text prining.

for test just print
slowcat copying

Slowcat put pause between words, make long pause at coma, semicolon, dot, make a delay when warps text.

Works under any OS (Windows, unix, FreeBSD, Linux)

How to use:

1) Just print
slowcat filename
for testing.

2) You can set a speed by two way:

slowcat filename [--speed] [-sA,B,C,D,E,F]

a) Use presets (speed)

--xxslow (examine every character :)
--xslow (Very slow)
--slow (Just slow)
--normal (by default)
--fast
--xfast (catch'em all! :)
--xxfast (ye... you are nut.)
--raw (for vertical reading...???)

b) by setting your out values (all values in ms):

-sA,B,C,D,E,F

A - pause between letters (default 6)
B - pause between words (default 80)
C - pause at coma, semiclon, hypen (160)
D - pause at dot, qustion-mark, exlamation mark (250)
E - pause, at new paragraph (\n), (500)
F - pause, when line warps (not a \n) (350)
