I am amused, although not very surprised, by the multitude of misinformation being posted here by people who do not know what "bss" stands for, but who think that they do.
How much should these people be trusted when they express their opinion on a more substantive matter?

According to the Lil manual, written by P. J. Plauger, "bss" is an acronym from antiquity standing for "block started by symbol". (To answer the next question, Lil is a very low level language that went away a long time ago.) Kenneth Almquist
