I applied for a job about 12 years ago where the company was still using BASIC for some of their software. If I remember correctly it was numbered BASIC, not the more modern stuff. I think the software was doing some type of accounting—stuff that worked and they didn't want to change.

I had a job in the early 90s where another team were using Wang 2200s which I'm sure were coded with line-numbered BASIC.

Could be one of those with the everlasting ERP type software running on an emulator.

Wish I could have found that 35 years ago.
