legacy system          A computer system or {application program} which       continues to be used because of the cost of replacing or       redesigning it and often despite its poor competitiveness and       compatibility with modern equivalents.   The implication is       that the system is large, monolithic and difficult to modify.          If legacy software only runs on antiquated {hardware} the cost       of maintaining this may eventually outweigh the cost of       replacing both the software and hardware unless some form of       {emulation} or {backward compatibility} allows the software to       run on new hardware.          (1998-08-09)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Luke, Gospel according to       was written by Luke. He does not claim to have been an       eye-witness of our Lord's ministry, but to have gone to the best       sources of information within his reach, and to have written an       orderly narrative of the facts (Luke 1:1-4). The authors of the       first three Gospels, the synoptics, wrote independently of each       other. Each wrote his independent narrative under the guidance       of the Holy Spirit.                Each writer has some things, both in matter and style,       peculiar to himself, yet all the three have much in common.       Luke's Gospel has been called "the Gospel of the nations, full       of mercy and hope, assured to the world by the love of a       suffering Saviour;" "the Gospel of the saintly life;" "the       Gospel for the Greeks; the Gospel of the future; the Gospel of       progressive Christianity, of the universality and gratuitousness       of the gospel; the historic Gospel; the Gospel of Jesus as the       good Physician and the Saviour of mankind;" the "Gospel of the       Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man;" "the Gospel of       womanhood;" "the Gospel of the outcast, of the Samaritan, the       publican, the harlot, and the prodigal;" "the Gospel of       tolerance." The main characteristic of this Gospel, as Farrar       (Cambridge Bible, Luke, Introd.) remarks, is fitly expressed in       the motto, "Who went about doing good, and healing all that were       oppressed of the devil" (Acts 10:38; comp. Luke 4:18). Luke       wrote for the "Hellenic world." This Gospel is indeed "rich and       precious."                "Out of a total of 1151 verses, Luke has 389 in common with       Matthew and Mark, 176 in common with Matthew alone, 41 in common       with Mark alone, leaving 544 peculiar to himself. In many       instances all three use identical language." (See MATTHEW       ¯T0002442; {MARK}; {GOSPELS}.)                There are seventeen of our Lord's parables peculiar to this       Gospel. (See List of Parables in Appendix.) Luke also records       seven of our Lord's miracles which are omitted by Matthew and       Mark. (See List of Miracles in Appendix.) The synoptical Gospels       are related to each other after the following scheme. If the       contents of each Gospel be represented by 100, then when       compared this result is obtained:                Mark has 7 peculiarities, 93 coincidences.                Matthew 42 peculiarities, 58 coincidences.                Luke 59 peculiarities, 41 coincidences.       That is, thirteen-fourteenths of Mark, four-sevenths of Matthew,       and two-fifths of Luke are taken up in describing the same       things in very similar language.                Luke's style is more finished and classical than that of       Matthew and Mark. There is less in it of the Hebrew idiom. He       uses a few Latin words (Luke 12:6; 7:41; 8:30; 11:33; 19:20),       but no Syriac or Hebrew words except sikera, an exciting drink       of the nature of wine, but not made of grapes (from Heb. shakar,       "he is intoxicated", Lev. 10:9), probably palm wine.                This Gospel contains twenty-eight distinct references to the       Old Testament.                The date of its composition is uncertain. It must have been       written before the Acts, the date of the composition of which is       generally fixed at about 63 or 64 A.D. This Gospel was written,       therefore, probably about 60 or 63, when Luke may have been at       Caesarea in attendance on Paul, who was then a prisoner. Others       have conjectured that it was written at Rome during Paul's       imprisonment there. But on this point no positive certainty can       be attained.                It is commonly supposed that Luke wrote under the direction,       if not at the dictation of Paul. Many words and phrases are       common to both; e.g., compare:                Luke 4:22; with Col. 4:6.                Luke 4:32; with 1 Cor. 2:4.                Luke 6:36; with 2 Cor. 1:3.                Luke 6:39; with Rom. 2:19.                Luke 9:56; with 2 Cor. 10:8.                Luke 10:8; with 1 Cor. 10:27.                Luke 11:41; with Titus 1:15.                Luke 18:1; with 2 Thess. 1:11.                Luke 21:36; with Eph. 6:18.                Luke 22:19, 20; with   1 Cor. 11:23-29.                Luke 24:46; with Acts 17:3.                Luke 24:34; with 1 Cor. 15:5.
