Mark V. Shaney Junior 0.2.0

By Susam Pal on 14 Dec 2025

Mark V. Shaney Junior 0.2.0 is the second release of this little Markov gibberish generator. This release brings two small changes. First, it now reads the training data from standard input instead of a hardcoded file. Second, the program filename has been changed from mvs.py to mvs to reflect that it is an executable file and can be run as ./mvs on most Unix and Linux systems.

The source and a detailed documentation for this project are available at github.com/susam/mvs.
