        !            21: writes the traditional "ripple test" pattern on standard output.
        !            22: In 96 lines,
        !            23: this pattern will print all 96 printable ASCII characters
        !            24: in each position.
        !            25: While originally created to test printers, it is quite
        !            26: useful for testing terminals,
        !            27: driving terminal ports for debugging purposes,
        !            28: or any other task where a quick supply of random data is needed.
