Cool.

I can sort of understand massive banking systems still running on COBOL, I would have thought basic programs small enough to replace. It looks like it's actually embedded in test equipment though?

What kind of basic are we talking about

20 goto 10? Or something more modern?



Ha, yeah GOTO statements are littered throughout the code I have to maintain. And, yes RMB was developed for automating test setups. Developed by Hewlett-Packard decades ago when they were still in the business of manufacturing test equipment for RF/microwave system testing.
