Aw, gee! Fond memories of wombats....I used to write a VAX/VMS column for
"Digital Review". I can't think of anything much earlier than that wombat
help, though. I once worked for a software company that had hidden messages
in the comments of its source code; you only saw them if you printed the
program listings. Things like, "Tom has a 'cousin' in Charleston," referring
to a girlfriend, stuff like that. And that was in or around 1972.
