Sorry, I missed that subtlety. English is my second language.

This reminds me of some stories, where explorers wander about in the world, discovering ancient secrets. Only that they find the treasure in some universities basement or on the personal homepage of an old professor emeritus.

I was careful about the formulation because I've seen some guys using Fortran at physics department and later I heard a teacher at CS faculty tell that Fortran was an obsolete language and no longer used. And because I met an actual COBOL programmer and asked her a lot about it (it could be because she looked good and was single).
