Remember where Unisys came from: it’s the merger of two separate mainframe 
companies, Burroughs and Sperry.

The fact that they had to merge showed that they had ceased being viable 
as separate businesses.

So what of the “legacy software” from either Burroughs or Sperry (or both) 
is contributing to the bottom line of present-day Unisys?
