Sridhar> CDC was chopped up. Some of the pieces survive. They Sridhar> switched from high-performance computing to storage sometime Sridhar> in the '80s, and that group became Imprimis, which was Sridhar> bought out by Seagate at some point. Their business services Sridhar> division still exists and is called Ceridian, I believe. Sridhar> Their financial services division became Travelers Group (as Sridhar> in Travelers Insurance), which is now Citigroup (as in the Sridhar> gigantic bank). (Although the insurance-specific businesses Sridhar> were spun back off at some point. Suitness.) Some piece of CDC now belongs to British Telecom; before then it was called Syntegra. That's where the mainframe software (like NOS) ended up. They still have it, and they can still supply it, amazingly. paul
