Does it start with "Any sequence of KLUDGES, not necessarily distinct
or finite..."? If so, it can be found in "The Computer
Contradictionary", by the same author, and probably illegal copy of
the last book can be found in the net somewhere.

I was looking through my old copy of "The Devil's DP Dictionary" by
Stan Kelly-Bootle, and came across the entry for Stepwise
Refinement. I thought "I've seen this before: this is a parody of
Darcs patch theory". It included the Null patch, chains of patches,
inverse patches, and pseudo-inverse patches. But the book was
published in 1981.
I've got the pages scanned, but I can't upload them to Wikimedia
because they are still in copyright. However I'm quite sure that
limited distribution would fall into "fair use" (non-commercial,
small part of work, no impact on market, academic relevance). The
total file size is about 520kBytes. Assuming people would like to
see them, does anyone have any ideas beyond "email to requestors"?
