## About

Spawned from a

[bout of nostalgia and some free time](https://blog.psypherpunk.io/jargon/).

The contents of `jargon.txt.gz` were originally derived from the

[Internet Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20130827121341/http://cosman246.com/jargon.html):

```bash

lynx \

    --dump \

    --width 145 \

    --nonumbers \

    ${INTERNET_ARCHIVE_URL} | gzip --best -c > jargon.txt.gz

```

## Build

Build using `cargo`:

```bash

cargo build --release

```

This will update `src/lib.rs` in-place. The resulting changes can be

ignored with:

```bash

git update-index \

    --assume-unchanged \

    src/lib.rs

```

## Running

This can be run locally using `cargo`:

```bash

cargo run --release

```

Alternatively, having built it as above, the resulting binary located

in `target/release/jargon` can be executed directly:

```bash

./target/release/jargon

```

## Releases

[Releases](https://github.com/PsypherPunk/jargon-rs/releases) are

available as `deb` and `rpm` packages.
