ENVIRONMENT
       FLAME_TYPE
              If FLAME_TYPE is set, flame will use it as the default type to
              generate.  If FLAME_TYPE is not set, flame will take input from
              /dev/urandom.

       OBSCENE
              Points to a file containing miscellaneous obscene adjectives
              for the -X option.  If OSCENE is not set, flame will generate a
              "Holier-than-thou/Moral Crusader" flame.


FILES
       .lastflame
              This file contains the number of the last article flamed. Used
              when flaming an entire newsgroup.

       .prefflame
              This file contains the user's preferred flames.

       .altflame
              This file contains alternate phrasing of some of the more
              standard flames. Used to keep the program from flaming itself.


SEE ALSO
       rn(1), more(1), newsrc(5), readnews(1), Pnews(1), Rnmail(1), sense(1)


BUGS
       Occasionally, flame will turn on the user, and flame all outgoing
       postings. When this happens, the best thing to do reinstall your
       news software and flame.

       flame -GL will result in a hex code post.


TIPS
       flame should be run as a child process of sense --common so that
       options do not conflict (Example: flame -NYZ).
