Ooops. My bad. Thanks Dan, for the correction.
Either way, the code was awful. :-)

Uh oh, lest the UPenn alumni among us get angry (high, Ron!) I feel I
must point out that UREP wasn't from the University of Pennsylvania,
but rather, from The Pennsylvania State University (yes, "The" is part
of the name). UPenn (upenn.edu) is an Ivy in Philly; Penn State
(psu.edu) is a state school in University Park, which is next to State
College (really, that's the name of the town) with satellite campuses
scattered around the state.

And my comment about seeing code produced by
programmers while doing sales
support dates from 1990. This isn't something new,
Also true. In the late 80s I was a sysadmin at Emory U. We had a
Vax connected to BITNET with funky hardware and UREP, the Unix RSCS
Emulation Program, from the University of Pennsylvania. Every time
I had to dive into that code, I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. :-)
