Most of those I am familiar with, well at least sec20, birthday and may be the
odd welcome and onceonly.

Going to have a look to see where it is in the pdf file.

Needless to say it must be coming up to 20 years ago that I might have set 
them
up..

Waddaya want ?  Me and good memory is these days a wee bit departing :

Bad enough looking at program code that I wrote a month or two ago and it is
now real fun going through code that was started in the 60's, updated in the 
70
& 80's with a system total refresh around 2011 and now I have to go through it
to do system testing and update/write the manuals along with debugging any bad
code or missing links between sub systems.

I have put the whole lot of the Accounting package on SF but the changes I 
made
pre 2016 which allows it to not only run using ISAM files but also with
Mysql/mariadb has to have some deep testing, although I did do all the basic
stuff as well as Functional testing sadly not full system and UAT.

I decided to take a break as I was on it every day for well over a year.

I had originally 3 - 4 programmers working on it with me just managing, now
it's just me.

So sue me, it's been a year or few :)

and I do not really have a very good excuse to myself.
