Hey! That reminds me of this time I was doing systems programming on
this DECsystem-20/60, working on a new command interpreter, right? So
I compile this PCL routine that's supposed to be able to give a complete
report on the current system load and the job status and controlling
device of all the currently active jobs, and optionally send it to
TTY53:. So what I do is allocate TTY53: and send the source code over
there, and the damn DECwriter III starts spewing blank sheets of paper
four feet in the air! I hate when that happens.
