Intro |
(Author unknown -- another Cambrigde product?) |
That was the HASP my friend
Once upon a time there was a system
Which read and spooled and ran the printers too.
Remember how we coded up the changes,
And dreamed of all the great things we could do.
That was the HASP my friend,
There's no use to pretend,
We sang and danced and coded the night away.
We'd make the mods we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we had HASP and it would lead the way.
Tra-la la-LA la-la,
Tra-la la-LA la-la,
We had the HASP and it would lead the way.
Then the busy years went rushing by us,
HASP went version two to version three.
The features and enhancements kept on coming,
From execution batch to R-J-E.
That was the HASP my friend ...
Soon the days on VS were upon us,
The future role of HASP was now in doubt.
But version four of HASP was soon to follow,
And show what virtual spooling's all about.
Yet today there looms another system,
It's more complex and difficult to grasp.
We look at M-V-S and ask the question,
Is that JES2 system really HASP?
It's really HASP my friend:
There's no use to pretend.
We'll sing and dance and code the night away.
We'll make the mods we choose,
We'll fight and never lose,
For we have HASP and it will lead the way.
Tra-la la-LA la-la,
Tra-la la-LA la-la,
We still have HASP and it will lead the way.
