I was thinking about Star Wars this morning and various parodies of it (like
Ernie Foss's Hardware Wars) and I rememberd the old DEC WARS. Alas when I
tried to post it, it was too big for the listserv. So here's a link for
your nostalgic purposes. I had to find one that was still in its
fixed-pitch glory complete with the ASCII-art title.

Is that the one that involved an invasion of DEC's Maynard Mill
headquarters by IBM marketing commandos? It featured a super-smart
canine named Digital Dog. It was written and drawn by one of DEC's
tech writers, if I recall correctly.

The best one ever, I thought, was Mark Crispin's "Software Wars". (I have an
actual original HAKMEM!)

I seem to vaguely recall a multi-page samizdat comic book of this name? Or am
I mis-remembering its name? Does this ring any bells for anyone?
