I have apologised for this brusque and rude tone in private. Unfortunately Greg Lehey was the one who took up that
thread.
Puh; he is also right correcting my statements, it should have
been "Weist Datenbasis zu" and "PF ist Programmdatei mit GOPU"
instead of what i falsely claimed.

This was a random choice of code that I happened to have on my
machine. It was documentation for code written in Mannheim in
November 1973. Arguably I should have removed the comments, but I
thought that the comment syntax was of marginal interest.
This has nothing more to do with Unix (it barely had in the first
place), so let's forget it.
