Did Bob Parnes leave behind the source code? That may be interesting
to see.
I think so, but I don't know for sure.
I imagine there are some hooks to handle the surcharge mechanism.? As
I recall, it was an hourly charge for using Confer.??
There wasn't a surcharge, at least not for most users, at UM. I presume
the hooks are there but disabled.
As for those MTS design / development *FORUM conferences, it would be
great to get those files.? I haven't looked into the file format for
*FORUM, but it keeps some files under ETC. Not sure how easy it would
be to install existing conferences into another MTS instance, but
those design conferences would be very educational and would be a
great resource for people to search for answers.
I have printouts of the final state of most of these *Forum conferences.
I think copies of these may be online somewhere but I'm not sure
where. If not they probably could be, assuming everyone is ok with
that. The MTS Workshop proceedings are definitely online and they
provide much of the same info in a somewhat more formal manner.
