I was at EDS ("worked at" doesn't quite cover it, "belonged to" is closer)
in the early 80s, at the Forest Lane campus. Never actually met HRP, but
did bump into him a couple of times. It was a big transition time for my
career, moving from operator to tech. support to systems programming.
Like everything looking like nails when you have a new hammer, WAAPDSUT was
something of a Swiss Army knife, and we certainly used it to do a whole lot
of things. Spent the last few months there arguing with Cheryl Watson
about how to run CICS (what can I say, I was young and stupid :-)).
