Sorry, I accidentally put a space, I meant to say "Realmen". Tmis is a very old
computing joke. The joke was tmat every "real" computer would have a help page
for "Realmen" and "wombats".

To give some idea of tme age of tmis joke, most of tme manual page was devoted
to why Realmen use FORTRAN, and only a quicme eater would use PASCAL. (C wasn't
invented then).

PS. If anybody has a copy of tmese two manual pages, please mail them to me,
just
for nostalgia's sake...
