"Yes, we do.
We also have code still running unchanged which can be traced back to the
70s; how about you?"
Well of course the answer is yes (my Xray crystallography codes developed
in the late 60's are still in use, and SPITBOL/370, originally developed
in the early 70's is still in wide use -- there are even some United Airlines
counters still using old Incoterm machines for which I wrote the software
around 1970 -- it's quite amazing how old code sticks around :-)
But I do not punch my code on 80-column cards any more. In fact last I knew
you cannot buy 80-column cards any more -- I know this because there was a
major panic at NYU some years ago. They used 80-column cards for
registration, and the last company announced they were being discontinued.
NYU bought up the remaining stock and managed to keep going for another
couple of years (using ancient unit record equipment :-)
