The ex-definition of PerfectFile

Our old mate Dave Jakeman at Atos Origin is worried because he has found the definition of PerfectFile on an HP web site.
‘A file restructuring tool that automatically optimises fiber delay line (FDL) parameters, restructures recovery management support (RMS) files, and recovers wasted space, thereby freeing system managers from the tedium of performing RMS file restructuring,’ it says.
He is concerned because he thought FDL stood for File Definition Language and RMS stood for Record Management Services. It means he has been around so long that even the acronyms at work have changed their meaning.
‘Should I be worried?’ he asks. Yes, Dave.
