I apologize that this is not the entirely correct newsgroup -- but the
congregation here is more attuned to software engineering issues than
most, so --

A while back (1985?) an article was published (Proceedings of the ACM?)
called "Why Isn't Sam Coding Anything."   This is a classic, and although
I have been bitten by management with similar narrow minds before, I am
now, again, facing an engineering management establishment  which is formed
of basically OK guys, but they don't understand software.

Will some kind soul please send me a copy of "WISCA" ?  (Actually, I feel
it's of general software engineering value and therefore appropriate to
post to the net {copyright restrictions notwithstanding} even in the Ada
section.  It's at least as useful as the Ada vs C exchange a while back...)

Please respond via e-mail if you don't feel the net would appreciate.  Or
respond via US Snail -- Rich Herzog, P.O. Box 609, La Mesa, CA  92044-0100.
But Please respond.

All the "Sam's" out there will appreciate it.
