Used to be UCC1 and UCC7 etc. supplied by Uccel (spelling?) before takeover by 
CA. Your point about numbering still holds good - but it wasn't CA's scheme.

Subject: CA product numbers (was 'Inexperienced' RBS tech operative's blunder 
led to banking meltdown)

I've always loved the early CA product naming scheme (CA-1, CA-7, et al.). Just 
think what that saved in marketing costs (to secure rights to a name), not to 
mention tsuris in internal naming meetings!

Of course, if they'd kept with it, we'd now be arguing over whether CA-237 or 
CA-984 was the better choice for a particular problem.

Maybe the folks who came up with that scheme are now at IBM, naming z boxes? 
(Yes, yes, I *know* the numbers in "z196" and "z114" mean something, I'm just 
sayin'...)
