I saw an e-mail posted on the MTS archive site from Bon Parnes (Confer creator) that seemed to indicate that he was OK with distributing Confer to people. Is there any way we could get an .AWS file with the Confer program components?

?

I was also wondering about Fortran 77 (*FTNVS) and Pascal VS. I imagine that those are probably still protected IBM property and are probably in the same boat as *ASMH. ??If Pascal VS or *FTNVS are available, it would be cool if we could get those somehow as well.

?

I also understand that the creator of *PascalJB has indicated that it can be made available as well.

?

I was wondering, in general, what is the status of MTS at U of M? Does U of M have any official instances of MTS running under Hercules?

?

I know that there is a new sub-field of CS called “Software Archaeology” that studies older software systems (for various reasons) – someone did a PHD on this recently. I was wondering if maybe the CS department had it running.

?

Sill anxiously awaiting the release of “d7.0”. I know a lot of people are doing this work on a voluntary basis, and we all appreciate that a lot.

?

Thanks
