      Do not bully people just because IE 7 is not available for Windows 98.

          There's trillons of Cobol code lines out there, so... I worked for a Bank that is still using some Clipper apps. I think that run every two year to the new version of VS is worthless

                An argument could be made that any web site requiring a browser later than IE6 is more bloated than functional. (For the record, I use Firefox 20.0.1 and sometimes IE 10.)

                    COBOL is still active and popular because it supports decimal arithmetic natively (ie. without having to write classes or depend on libraries). Most commercial activities are plain old "read input, massage numbers, spit out result" instead of making lists or calculating a scientific result (which is more interesting to OOP and recent paradigms). Just about every day a new language is invented by somebody, but none of them address decimal arithmetic... which is why COBOL will live on for a long time. The only languages that I know of that currently support decimal arithmetic are assembler (pick your machine), PL/1 and COBOL. I think COBOL wins this one...

                      Why not? if it works for him. I know people who who are still driving their 1950's Ford truck. And they're happy with it. It works for them. Kinda crazy notion, huh? Yeah, yeah, I know.

                                        a month back a director asked me to be as backward compatible as windoes95 ... My prompt quest was why leave DOS and win3.1 .. After this[^] I wonder whom are we trying to impress

                                        Last someone asked me to that (though it was to be backward compatible to Win98) I pointed out that anyone too cheap too upgrade from 98 would be too cheap to buy our upgrade. I was right.

                                          The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin
