Anagram of MUST Software International
I once worked for a company that changed hands several times. The flagship product was NOMAD, the first commercially available RDBMS for IBM mainframes. The company started out as a timesharing outfit in 1975 (National CSS); NCSS was acquired by Dun & Bradstreet as D&B Computing Services, DBCS sold NOMAD to Must Software International in 1986 (the last version of the company I worked for), and later became Select Business Systems and may still exist as Aonix.
Anyway, the MUST branch office where I worked moved, and I snarfed the brass letters from the sign that adorned the wall outside our suite of offices (I also took bits and pieces from an IBM 029 Card Punch, but that's another story).
About thirty years later, I came across said letters and pondered what to do...
Iranian smut is a real thing; why Teton would purvey it is anyone's guess.
Notes on Iranian smut fungi (Accepted : 11.10.2012)
Abstract
The following findings about Iranian smut fungi are presented: 1-Ustilago hordei × U. nuda hybrids are reported on Hordeum vulgare from Yazd province; the main causal agent of covered smut is above hybrids. 2- Urocystis tianschanica is newly reported from Iran on Critesion violaceum. 3- Tranzscheliella iranica is also reported from Yazd province. 4- Revision of herbarium specimens of infected Loliolum subulatum revealed that smut species on these specimens belongs to Tilletia lolioli not T. bromi.
