DEC Wars
A 1983 Usenet posting by Alan Hastings and Steve Tarr spoofing the "Star Wars"
movies in hackish terms. Some years later, ESR (disappointed by Hastings and
Tarr's failure to exploit a great premise more thoroughly) posted a
3-times-longer complete rewrite called "Unix WARS"; the two are often confused.
