[COFF] On having a slash

[Thomas Paulsen]

'Since the 1/l and 0/O were displayed 
identically, the programmers didn't find the prank funny.  Our 
instructor said as he traveled the US training groups, he hoped he would
find the guy.  10 or 15 years later he was still more than a tad angry. 
All for lack of slashes and serifs.'

the 1/l/i confusion was a real problem in those days when I saw numberless frustrated programmers whose programs did anything but the expected.
