[HECnet] Humour value alternative to DCL - a port OS/390 ISPF to VMS :)

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Odd. I'd thought that they would be named Hagar and Hamlet. When those
things first came out, the advertising being used was indeed from
Hagar the Horrible, a Viking. In fact I even have a mouse pad from
it......

And there's a reason why those shell commands were beyond the
comprehension of regular people. They were not written by people.....

AIX had something similar as an aid to system managers. I forgot its
name but it was a blessing because the shell commands were beyond human
comprehension...

Smit (graphical) and smitty (textual).

On one of the boxes at PSU when I was there renamed to smut and smutty. :)
