30+ years ago the Westinghouse Fast Dump Restore program had the
definition of APAR as All Problems Are (just) Recorded.  BJF was
Botched Job Foreground.  These definitions and others were in the
appendix.  If and when the legal department saw the manual it probably
had a fit.  Then there was the description of the error where the
track number in the track descriptor record did not match the track
being read and the reading of dumps which contained information on the
secret project of Fillet of Old Gnu.  Unfortunately I lost my copy of
the manual.
