legacy = stuff you have that works but isn't flavour of the month/
CIO's pet technology.
More seriously I suspect that the author just means how do you get
this new stuff to talk to your existing stuff. I thought it was
interesting that the Programming for Linux article actually talks
about programming using Perl DBI. I don't see any code there that
wouldn't run on, to be deliberately annoying, windows.
didn't someone on this list have a sig along the lines of building
tomorrows legacy systems today?
