GENPW is a TAL program, which generates 'meaningful' passwords.
It is written by Dr. Don Miller, and authorized to be distributed as freeware.
The following run modes are supported:
GENPW [seed]
displays the generated passwords to the home terminal.
[seed] is an optional string, used in the password generator.
GENPW/OUT / [num] [seed]
writes the generated passwords to OUT.
In case OUT exists, it is used.
In case OUT does NOT exist, it is created as EDIT type file.
[num] is the number of passwords to be generated. Legal values are 1 .. 32000.
When missing, or [num] is illegal, 16 is used.
[seed] is an optional string, used in the password generator.
