	I have a paper available that poses about 120 questions dealing with
the economic, social, management and legal aspects of software reuse. Many
of the questions deal with software libraries and archives, and should be of
interest to readers of this area.
	To obtain a copy of the paper, send me your e-mail address for an
ASCII text version of the paper, or a snail-mail address for a paper
version.
	BTW, I publish a directory that lists the titles to over 9,000
computer programs available in source code form from the government and
universities, all applications stuff, way beyond most of the stuff floating
over nets. My general observations is that the government and universities
are extremely incompetent when it comes to software technology transfer, to
the point of extreme apathy. There is so much stuff out there available for
people to put into their archives, it is a national disgrace how poorly
it is being handled.
	My opinion on Congressional bills to improve these state of affairs
is that their sponsors (more specifically their staff) do not understand the
practical problems of information technology transfer.
