Re: [PLUG] How the IRS is able to reverse engineer Assembly

Sounds like a nightmare (the result, not the process).

From the article: "Java is the current standard" ... hope nobody actually believes that.

Subject: [PLUG] How the IRS is able to reverse engineer Assembly

This group loves to hear about old programming languages and hardware,
and a great tale of this was at the Legacy Code Rocks! website.

Tom Temin reports how the IRS was able to convert their Assembly programs
into Java code, but there was no budget and the brilliant minds left.

http://legacycode.rocks/issues/18?#start    has a slew of other
interesting articles, like how Apple will be releasing the OS code for
Lisa ( circa 1983 )
