Article 76 of alt.drugs: Subject: LSD 4.3 Summary: Better living thru Unix Message-ID: <2709@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU> Date: 1 Feb 88 16:48:13 GMT Reply-To: dryfoo@athena.mit.edu (Gary L. Dryfoos) Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology LSD(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual LSD(1) NAME lsd - turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream SYNOPSIS lsd [ -dsS ] brandname user ... DESCRIPTION Disturbs the given users according to dosage, set, and setting. If more than one user is specified, each will be affected by the others, according to the arguments they give to lsd on their own terminals or machines. It is recommended that one of the users in a group specify a dose of 0, and that at least one other user be experienced in using lsd. Brandname is usually a blotter pattern, but may be used to specify a non-blotter form, such as "windowpane" or "pyramid." There are a number of options, each of which can have a strange and not completely predictable effect on the users: -d Dosage. A dosage of 1 to 3 is recommended for first time users, although strength varies with brandname and storage conditions. -s Set. Recommended values are "calm," "happy," and "groovy." Sets like "angry," "frustrated," and "bummed" may cause file system damage, and should be avoided. For these sets, other utilities are available (see "valium"). -S Setting. Recommended are "familiar," "interesting," and "comfortable." Hostile and challenging settings are reserved for experienced users. FILES /etc/trips is a log of system-wide use of lsd since booting. BUGS When invoked with incorrect arguments, lsd will print out a random, Unixy-sounding error message and remove this man page. This policy prevents misuse by undergraduates and fundamentalist Christians. User state should return to normal in twelve hours or less after invoking lsd. With extreme parameters, however, this cannot always be guaranteed. The output device is assumed to be 80 columns wide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know where it came from originally, so Please Use Carefully!
