Backups were zip files of the source listed by date. They were kept on the CTO's laptop because he was the only one allowed to see the source, everybody else just got the function they were working on.
The code was written in C++ but the CTO was a Fortran programmer! So no inheritance, no function overloads, no private data.
And no malloc/new - there were several global buffers of different sizes statically allocated at startup and you used these, managing your own pointer offsets
