    It is so funny to hear about “critical” systems that run ancient OSes and I’ve supported my fair share of those environments. I did love AIX as well. Smitty (and F6) teaching me UNIX commands early in my career was a great help.

    Was Rocket U2 still written in Pick Basic?

      I think so? I think ours used UniVerse whixh used UniBasic and UniQuery. I never had to use it in anger, I was mostly focused on supporting a different thing written in VB6…
