Do you mean the Berne Convention? Or are you talking about parochial systems specific to countries like the USA?

I for one and quite glad to not be able to run this software due to the incompatability of the emu with a recent version of EQLive.
25 years hmmm? That puts you as a contemporay of myself. It's no wonder the youth of today are losing respect for our generation when they read posts like that. What kind of machines were you using back then? I was using KL10 on twenex and lots of PDP series machines, as well as the odd job on CDC systems.

Or does "25 years in the programminga nd IT field" mean you were a cash register tech, or a postal sorter operator?

BTW, for those who don't know (because your teenagers I guess) you have to beware of us old farts claiming they are IT gurus due to the experience they had in the old days. A lot of so called "programmers" of the late 70s and early 80s were Operators, who were "programmers" in that they gave machines instructions, but their jobs were mainly:

Changing tapes.
Changing Disk Packs.
Following the instructions from the huge bookcase full of manuals to solve the odd problems that might come up.

Most Operators couldn't actually write code in anything other than JCL. Especially not in that new-fangled "C" - and anyway, that was only for those UNIX systems, and everyone knew they'd never amount to anything outside Universities....
