# Computer saves time with the "Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer" song.
#
# Written  October   26, 1999 - Jeff Popp V1.0
# Modified August    22, 2000 - Jeff Popp V1.1  -Add capabilities to
#                                                modify decrement
#                                                count and allow $N>99
#
#
# Note:  This program has been written so that song rhymes by using
#        the line "If one of those bottles should happen to fall" as
#        opposed to the usual "You take one down and pass it around".
#
#        It also manicures the output lines so that the number of
#        syllables remains constant. One and two syllable numbers are
#        followed by the word "more".
#
#        ie: "18 more bottles of beer on the wall"
#                 vs.
#            "17 bottles of beer on the wall"
#
#        Special consideration is also given to remaining bottle counts
#        of one and zero. Instead of "If 1 of those bottles should happen
#        to fall" the line becomes "If that one bottle should happen to
#        fall", and "0 more bottles of beer on the wall" becomes "No more
#        bottles of beer on the wall".
