1.3.0                                              25 Feb 2018                                       pipes.sh(6)

       A  bash script which draws randomly pathed pipes over the terminal. Generally used either as a functional
       screensaver or for amusement.

pipes.sh  was originally created by Matthew Simpson and posted to the Arch Linux Forums in early 2010. It
       was also later posted to Gist released in the public domain.

       In early 2013, Yu-Jie Lin posted a modification of the script to Gist after reading about it on  a  blog.
       It was maintained on Gist independently for a period of a few months.

       In  2014, the script was given its own GitHub repository as a project which encouraged contributions from
       other developers. As the project gained more popularity the decision was  made  to  combine  forces  with
       developers of similar projects.

       Finally  in 2015, the MIT License was added and the Pipeseroni collective was formed (see LINKS below) to
       maintain the project.
