We use DOS programs within virtual machines to process data that comes in on 1/2" tape from government sources and return it to them on DVD's. The oldest of these would be mid 80's I guess.
Edit: Changed "in-virtuo" to "within virtual machines" for clarity.

It takes 2 different virtual machines, two different dos releases and 4 different programs to get it done. The whole process is an exercise in Seuss-ian ridiculousness.
