Xenix anyone?

[cheeni]

Working with the government has its light moments, such as when you encounter an RFP for computerization suggesting in all earnestness the installation of XENIX along with the "latest version" of "Developer 2000". This isn't a legacy requirement - this is a tender for the purchase of brand new computer hardware and the development of related application software.

1. Operating system for server-Windows NT/ UNIX/ XENIX/ LINUX
2. Operating system for clients-Windows 2000/ UNIX/ LINUX/ XENIX.
[...]
4. Front-end development tool-latest version of Developer 2000 / 
   Visual Basics / Java / HTML

Also note, the plural reference "Visual Basics", wonder why they dont require "javas" and "htmls"...?

That could just be word association - basics being a valid word. I wonder though, how can I get him the latest version of Developer 2000? It is true, the misty depths of a bureaucrats mind are yet to be mapped.
