Duration of non supported applications

[Signe Marie Sanne]

Devin,
Since there seems to be scarce interest on behalf of our faculty to  
support the programs I have developed through 20 years, perhaps I  
should give them away free, at least to Revolution's educational  
community. All the time I have worked firmly convinced that they may  
prove most useful for the learning. This has been confirmed by some  
of the students, but most part of them seem not to have worked with  
them. However, in recent years I have no idea about how much  they  
have worked with the programs, since the link to downloading the  
portal stack is available in their students' network (or whatever it  
is called) and they probably work with them at home.

I still think the way they are distributed is fabulous, just one  
downloading of the portal stack (which I call the menu stack). If you  
want to have a look at the Italian programs, here is the link: http://

As to a repository, isn't that what Marielle is trying to do  
something about?
