  Berkeley Quality Software
  BQS
  
     <abuse> (Often abbreviated "BQS") Term used in a pejorative
     sense to refer to software that was apparently created by
     rather spaced-out hackers late at night to solve some unique
     problem.  It usually has nonexistent, incomplete, or incorrect
     documentation, has been tested on at least two examples, and
     core dumps when anyone else attempts to use it.  This term was
     frequently applied to early versions of the "dbx(1)" debugger.
  
     See also Berzerkeley.
