.SH SYNOPSIS
.B festoon
[-p] [-e] [-t] [-sseed] [-z] [length] [percent]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Festoon
prepares a memorandum on any undesired topic, containing
.I length
sentences (default is 20) and a specified
.I percent
of manufactured nouns (default is 5), suitable for input to
.IR troff (1).
Options
.B "\-p \-e \-t"
(which may be concatenated as
.B \-pet )
create pointless pictures, nonsensical equations and
useless tables, respectively.
.P
.B \-s
can be used to force the random number generator seed,
which is printed out as the organization number in the header
and which is normally assigned randomly.
Re-use of the same seed results in the same memo.
.P
.B \-z
is a debugging aid; it inserts the grammar type of
each sentence fragment in the output stream.
.P
.I Festoon
is a useful way to test the commands in the "SEE ALSO" section.
A total effect might radically monoarchate this qualitativeness.
