Oh, I’m not trying to talk you out of it, I’m just making sure that you see all sides of the scenario.
I looked at some of the Y2K patches, I don’t strictly know cobol either , but it’s not that hard to read.
You’d think that code lying around would be refined as they had limits on space and everything was so mature. It’s still pretty trashy :)
Never seen a loose one either, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I bet some manufacturer had a bad batch.
