Supporting really old applications

Article on supporting really old computer programs (opens in a new window)

Really interesting story about supporting a 60 yr old “computer application”…and not being able to find people that know the older programming languages [they mention Fortran, Assembly, even ALGOL.]

I know that some of the code (programs) I wrote in the early to mid nineties are still running – twenty or more yrs later – who would have thought??
