Does anyone remember this program (probably /usr/games/festoon) and in
which Unixes it was distributed? I think it must have existed in at
least some BSDs, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't in the ordinary 4.3
distribution.

Does anyone remember this program (probably
/usr/games/festoon)
It's come up at least twice on alt.folklore.computers in the last decade,
but I've never seen a pointer to the actual source yet. e.g.

That's all I can find in the Unix Archive at present.

P.S ./games/festoon is an 0407 binary. No source.
