                                             NAMES [DUAL MODE]
     
     NAME NAMES  - Generate  stange sounding  names based on a
     mask.
     
     
     SYNTAX
          
     names arbitary text -mask [-count]
     
     USAGE
     
     NAMES can be used to generate stange sounding names based
     on a  mask given  on the  command line.  This is an ideal
     tool for  the aspiring  sf writer.  Now you don't have to
     invent names for palanets or rulers yourself.
     
     The mask can contain only characters c and v, where the c
     stands for  consonant and  v stands  for  vowel.  Without
     other options NAMES generates 10 entries. You can however
     specify the  number of  names  generated  by  giving  the
     number perfixed with a -.
     
     You can add arbitary text to the command line. E.g:
     NAMES -cvvcvcvc entered the room.
     would generate  10 lines  with random names generated for
     the person entering the room.
