π DESCRIPTION π
okay so real talk β this manual page is here to document scottfree briefly. Like, the short version. β¨
and the reason this page even exists? bestie, it was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program literally does not have a manual page. not one. it has documentation in text format instead β see below, iykyk. π
so what does scottfree actually do? it's a program that reads and executes TRS80 format Scott Adams datafiles. that's the whole assignment. no cap. π
