+	baud - A tool to simulate a specified baud rate in a pipe.
+
+	I wrote this to be able to play some of the old VT100/ansi animations
+	at the rate of your choice.  Since most terminal emulator apps render
+	the text as fast as the system can (which is effectively instantaneous),
+	the animations do not actually animate.  This allows you to add 
+	a throttle to view as if you were on an actual serial terminal.
+
+	It takes one parameter, which is the desired baud rate.  If you do not
+	specify one, it will use the default defined below.  Extra parameters
+	will be ignored.
