dogcow: /dog'kow/ 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. Pointers to all things dogcowish
