DEC Wars
/dek wȯrs/
n. A 1983 USENET posting by Alan Hastings and Steve Tarr
spoofing the "Star Wars" movies in hackish terms. Some years
later, ESR (disappointed by Hastings and Tarr's failure to exploit a
great premise more thoroughly) posted a 3-times-longer complete
rewrite called "UNIX WARS"; the two are often confused.
