- I would guess that we have approximately 100 or so active users out there.
- I was wondering if anyone was up to abstracting the files on caltech. I
- know that the umich archives have some brief abstracts - perhaps if they
- didn't care we could start with those. Basically what I have in mind is
- a set of files that someone, toddpw perhaps, could move into the appropriate
- directories which would list
-
- author name
- program name
- brief program description
- program requirements (hardware, software)
- program restrictions (doesn't work on rom 3; shareware $20; etc.)
-
- The apple2-l bitnet archive has one liners basically from the Subject
- lines. The wuarchive has a filename/subject line list.
- The caltech has a ls -lR type listing and we could help them out with this
- project.
-
- Anyone game?
