Maxima, as an example, has code which was written in the '60s. (A couple of years ago a bug was fixed in a contrib module which had been added to MACSYMA back in '62 or so.) I beleive axiom also has some similarly ancient code. Those two are now managed in git. (Except for the openaxiom fork.) And there is a high-energy physics package still under development with code going back to the '50s. I'm pretty sure they moved to a vcs sometime in the last decade or two. :) -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
