List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: In the late 1990s I did a brief consulting project to move files between = sites. Something to do with customer billing and record transmission, = from some large system that was not Internet-connected. It ended up = being a terrible teetering tower of kermit, sz or sx, and expect. But = it got the job done! The funny thing about that...the project spanned the July 4th weekend. = I didn't get it working before the 4th. Then when I went in very = hungover after the weekend, I couldn't figure out quite what I had been = trying to do, because it was something that was attempting to be very = clever. So in my dulled state, I rewrote the bottom layers to be much = more straightforward. Worked the first time. That taught me the virtue = of not overthinking it. Adam
