Oh, I know. Still I didn't think that they'd try something even Sun won't!

We've got the mainframe, but I refuse to touch CRUDBALL (as Dr. "Crazy" Dave Morgan would've referred to COBOL as). My COBOL instructor, I think, was the one who said that the language was invented with the intent of being able to hire winos off the street to be programmers.

BTW, we recently finished the migration (with "Big Blue" assistance) from an old Honeywell Bull to an IBM. Took over four years.< bg >
