Well, on a RSTS/E system back home in Jericho, Long Island (a PDP-11/70),
saying to TECO "make love" would cause it to respond "Not war?" and then
give you the asterisk.  Hmm... I, too, would like to know who wrote it.
It seems like the kind of thing a crazed hacker would write--TECO is more
a language than an editor!
