I remember the Westinghouse Dump Restore manual from the 1960's or
1970's where the appendix defined APAR as All Problems Are (just)
Recorded, BJF as botched job foreground and gave the scenario for
tracks with a wrong record zero where the track number disagreed with
the track and getting dumps of this abend which indicated there was a
research project on filet of old gnu. I am still wondering if anyone
in the Westinghouse legal department ever saw the manual. That
appendix definitely had system programmer humor and may have even
caused applications people to laugh. If that manual is preserved
anywhere I think I would try to see it if I were ever in the area.
