Maybe Tandem's wonderfully named "fup" ("file utility program")?  I
love hearing my sister talk about how she "fupped this" and "fupped
that".

I have a copy of the BSTJ special issue on Unix around somewhere, I'll
see if it's mentioned in there.  Although that's probably 1978, so
later than your recollections.
