And it's still alive now and still a fucking arse pain. We have to import statements from various large financial companies and they still even after 20-odd years haven't worked out how to make parseable CSVs and don't even get me started on encoding which usually consists of concatenated bits of crap in multiple encodings. Oh and some of it even arrives via modem (at 9600bps no less!). If we're lucky we get SFTP and UTF8 XML without a broken schema. Some of the XML is actually just made by concatenating unescaped strings which explodes when someone puts a double quote in a text field.

Imagine debugging that heap of shite.

Resolving problems with it does pay very well though, which is what I'm doing now at 23:25 on a Sunday night :)
