## About cowsay



According to the [original](https://web.archive.org/web/20071026043648/http://www.nog.net/~tony/warez/cowsay.shtml) original manual.



```

cowsay is a configurable talking cow, written in Perl. It operates

much as the figlet program does, and it written in the same spirit

of silliness.

```



This is also supported `COWPATH` env. Please read more details in [#33](https://github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/pull/33) if you want to use this.



## What makes it different from the original?



- fast

- utf8 is supported

- new some cowfiles is added

- cowfiles in binary

- random pickup cowfile option

- provides command-line fuzzy finder to search any cows with `-f -` [#39](https://github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/pull/39)

- coloring filter options

- super mode
