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
&#8216;Clarus&#8217;). Option-shift-click will cause it to emit a
characteristic &#8220;<span class="quote">Moof!</span>&#8221; or &#8220;<span class="quote">!fooM</span>&#8221; sound.
<span class="emphasis"><em>Getting</em></span> 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: <a href="../R/rot13.html"><i class="glossterm">rot13</i></a> is involved. A dogcow also
appears if you choose &#8216;Page Setup...&#8217; with a LaserWriter
selected and click on the &#8216;Options&#8217; button. It also lurks in
other Mac printer drivers, notably those for the now-discontinued Style
Writers.
