It surprises me how many system utilities I use that are older than I am. I am currently initializing a disk on a cloud server with an application that was written when Ford was the US president.

    Can you say which application it is? Does it run on a mainframe? Any idea what language was used to program it?

    Sorry this is just quite interesting.

    Snot Flickerman was right, it's dd. It was in the docs I linked to show the commands. It runs on anything with storage devices and an operating system. I mainly use it on Windows servers running on AWS.
