The subject of obscure OS/360 error messages recalled to my mind the
beginner's guide for students and faculty that the Boston College
Computer Center wrote.  They spent many pages explaining obtuse OS/360
error messages.  My favorite line from that document is:

"Despite what you may have been taught in German class, there is no
such thing as a 'guten ABEND'."
