I got hooked on UNIX in 1977, I used a Univac Exec8 system.
<div>You “cataloged” (created) a file with the @CAT command.</div>

<div>I decided that if I ever got a CAT, it would be named FURPUR.
That happened when I was working for Rutgers. Not having any

hired a guy from the University of Maryland who says “You have a
cat named FURPUR?”</div>
