A bit of traffic over the past few days has reminded me to ask
about better methods of sharing software. An interesting model
is the Math Netlib <netlib@anl-mcs.edu>. You send it messages
whose entire contents are something like:
send index
or
send whetstone from benchmarks (I think)
and promptly (and untouched by human hands) you get a reply of the
requested stuff. Thats really great for sites like us that
cannot directly FTP from ARPA hosts.
Doesn't sound like that answering software is terribly hard to
write -- I think I know how to do it with our mail system in a day
or two of work (though I could get fooled).
Might that be worthwhile to have for Apollo software? Sounds like
something ADUS could do (along with accepting mailed submissions).
Topic for the ADUS meeting?
