I am a Software Engineer, but I am more of a generalist than a specialist. I have worked under DOS, Windows and UNIX, I have worked on many kinds of softwares. I can tell you that no knowledge is ever wasted, systems and softwares that seem widely apart have in fact a lot in common. VAX and UNIX are widely related, as I am told (never worked on VAX !), so you should not find getting a new job that much of a problem.

I have some Unix experience, but not much (although PERL is quite nice - tricky but nice). VMS and Vax C/Basic/COBOL are all usable on the newer Alpha boxes. My code is easily maintainable, although my testing needs work on occasion. My Analysis skills are tippety-top and I have had a number of discussions with customer/suppliers on such things.

My primary rule: "There are t least 3 solutions for everything"
