> I don't think that website is either a US federal agency or receives any US federal funding. IMHO it's hard to tell either way, because their website wasn't designed with ease-of-use in mind. That said, here's some facts I was able to gather on their business: > Whilst IT research remains our primary focus, we now offer executive high-end commercial IT services to organisations with unique problems to solve. > ...we also have a large body of knowledge of older systems, many of which have now gone full-circle and fallen into disuse, technology that has been abandoned and forgotten. We occasionally do projects involving those, especially when nobody else seems to remember how they worked. Our knowledge-base includes legacy programming languages such as Fortran, data conversion from obscure file formats, and even assembly language coding on various platforms. Based on these quotes, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they have clients in government. |

Anything is possible, I suppose, but everything I've seen on that site leads me to think it's not a company at all, but a personal hobbyist's website, or perhaps that of a hobbyist club.
