dogcow
/dogkow/ , n. See Moof. The dogcow is a semi-legendary creature that lurks
in the depths of the Macintosh Technical Notes Hypercard stack V3.1. The
full story of the dogcow is told in technical note #31 (the particular
dogcow illustrated is properly named Clarus ). Option-shift-click will cause
it to emit a characteristic Moof! or !fooM sound. Getting to tech note 31 is
the hard part; to discover how to do that, one must needs examine the stack
script with a hackerly eye. Clue: rot13 is involved. A dogcow also appears
if you choose Page Setup... with a LaserWriter selected and click on the
Options button. It also lurks in other Mac printer drivers, notably those
for the now-discontinued Style Writers. See
