About three years ago, the MIS department for a firm I worked for
wanted a file transfer program, to move its vital records from the host down to
PC's over an ARCnet LAN that nobody really understood.
I happily developed the "MIS FILE" program. As far as I know,
people out there still happily "MISFILE" their data, daily.
Who knows if they even notice the name ?
