Here you go.  I thought it would be about time for another announcement.
For all of you interested in X programs we have written some more utility
progrms.  Also there are some non-X programs now that you might find useful.

I hope you enjoy the software that the students at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee    are producing!


   Copyright (C) 1992  Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin
   System on behalf of Department of EE and CS, University of 
   Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

   The programs in this directory were developed by software engineering 
   teams as part of the course "Introduction to Software Engineering" 
   under the supervision of Professor G. Davida.
   
   They are available from the usual X ftp places, and locally at 
 
			ftp.cs.uwm.edu:/soft-eng         129.89.9.117 

   If you have fixes/patches, comments, any enhancements you would like to 
   see in done to this software, or if you don't have ftp access. 

   Please mail to:      soft-eng@cs.uwm.edu
