Legacy code
Legacy code is source code that relates to a no-longer supported or manufactured operating system or other computer system. The term can also mean code inserted into modern software for the purpose of maintaining an older or previously supported feature—for example supporting a serial interface even though most modern systems don't have a serial port.
