+<para>MAD was named after Mad Magazine, which in those more innocent
+days of the late 1950s and early 1960s was one of the cutting edges of
+American humor.  Batch compilers of the period sent their error
+listings to a line printer to be printed on fanfold paper.  It was
+normal for such listings to begin with a cover page giving, among
+other things, the time and date of compilation.  We are informed that
+the original MAD compiler also included on the cover page an image
