Oh small world me to I worked for Telecom Gold who ran the UK service (in the many varied corporate structures).

What would be really strange if you worked on GLE a PL1/G program the US side made for our Billing system.

Nah. My PL/1 stuff was all original.

The legacy stuff was FORTRAN. Did I say 4?

My mistake. '77.

A hundred KLoC of spaghetti, just like Mama Mia used to make.

The X.400 stuff was in C, but I'm not sure that the stuff I worked on made it to the customer. We wrote a mover application.
