Similar versions of this document have been floating around for quite
a while.  Last February, I attended BOSKONE, a science fiction convention
which is held annually in Boston.  In the back of the art gallery there
was an embroidered wall hanging saying simply "See Figure 1" - and nothing
else.  It looked very much out of place in the midst of the usual dragons,
aliens, etc., and the standard reaction from people was "What's that ?  Why
is it here ?".  This made it all the funnier to those of us who knew the
story behind it.

Note to anyone who uses Data General's AOS/VS operating system:
There is an undocumented error message in the binary file editor.
The following sequence of commands.....

) proc/def/block/ioc/res :util:fed <some file>

FED - AOS/VS disk File EDitor, Rev. 04.00.00.00
_$C

generates the error message:

RESTRICTION:  Can't use $C from a resident process.  SEE FIGURE ONE!

It might be humorous for someone to submit a software trouble report asking
for a copy of this undocumented figure.
