I think Wouter came up with a joke language called FALSE - maybe this is
what you're thinking of?

I seem to remember a magazine (probably Amiga Shopper) printing a
screenshot, showing a text editor window containing the source of PT-Mod
ripper written in FALSE.

You had to look pretty close to tell whether it was source or a hex dump!

All the best,

We're here to give you a computer, not a religion.
