That no longer exists. The businesses and products still exist. In the division of that corporation I worked in we had super minis running basic that was proprietary to us and supplied by a programmer who was a consultant. Huge runs of orders, inventory, manufacturing and sales at satellite locations that ended up feeding data to mainframe runs on Univacs and IBMs. There was a programming department of 8-10 that maintained and tweaked that software at my location. This was in the 1980s. Have fun.
