Happy to read VAX/VMS here :-) - my first project as a college fresher was migrating critical data from VAX/VMS ISAM files (written using Fortran code) to Digital Unix. The days when these two machine's did not talk to each other. Learnt dd, tape drive record limiter issues, all data was floating point so issues with binary compatibility etc. One of the best accomplishments in my career.
