First, there was a misunderstanding, right *now* it was about one developer
to fill a vacancy in a larger developer/support group. Contract time is
2016-09-01 - 2020-12-31 and I guess there will be other places before
2020. Full time. "OpenVMS, Cobol, SQL, Oracle Rdb, C". It is one of
the major swedish banks and its about software products for "Foreign
Exchange och Money Market".

Due to the fact that many members in the dev.group are bad in English,
spoken and written Swedish seems to be a requirement...

Anyway, 4.5 year fulltime consulting assignment is not too bad.
In particular if your are 4.5 year from retirement yourself... :-)

And it didn't suit me, too much travel.
