That are two different issues. :-)

Now, I'm also an sub-contractor today. And HCL has not so far showed
anyone with VMS knowledge, so the jury is still out, as they say.
We'll see, the first face-to-face meeting will be in about a week.

This is a 30+ year old system with everything in swedish. Docs,
source code comments, VT-screens, error messages and so on. Even the
variable names in the Cobol source are in swedish.

I'm 54 and having some reumatic troubles. I still plan to end
my professional life when leaving VMS... :-)

Anyway, Monday and Tuesday I'll be at the Oracle and VMS
sessions at Gothenburg, nice to "come out" sometimes. :-)

Jan-Erik.
