Back in the late sixties I was doing DOS/360 contract programming. I used a
service bureau that would not let me store executable programs; I had to do a
compile and go every time on an expensive system I was paying for out of my
pocket. After running a very long compile I ran out of space in their core
image ("load") library and the job failed. I asked for credit for the time and
they refused. I wrote a quick program that exactly filled the remaining space
in the library and named it ALL. They ran the appropriate utility with the
control statement DELETC ALL with the predictable results. They were as unhappy
with me as I was with them.
