Thanks for the pointer to TUHS.
Yeah, festoon is a little too keen to invent words and isn't very good
at it. One can turn down the frequency of invented words but I had no

That paper is a work of beauty. The graph and
scatter plot are very nice touches.
I recall a similar paper written by one Jack Torrance in...

Did festoon ever get distributed outside the labs? Maybe it was a
late Research Unix thing only? It did something similar: generated
plausible-looking papers of random gibberish, complete with tables,
graphs and equations.
Google suggests that a binary and man page escaped into 2.9BSD.

It's not a joke. WMSCI is a money-making conference that
