A while back I asked for comments on the usefulness of the SIMTEL-20
public domain repository. Thanks to all of you who responded. I
received 16 responses. They are briefly summarized below.
- 2 people did not know about the repository.
- 2 people thought the repository was not only useful, but really
great.
- 10 people thought that there were some useful pieces of software
in the repository, but that the quality was not good enough to
be used without some changes.
- 2 people thought the software was not useful at all.
Of those who used the repository, the biggest complaints were:
- poor documentation of the software,
- inability to find the right piece of code quickly and
- inconsistent quality.
Sorry it took so long to get this posted, but I was hoping for more
responses.
