1212.0. "Free software?" by BOOKIE::HEBERT (Captain Bligh) Fri Mar 07 1997 11:13

What was the name of the program we had in place -maybe ten years ago-
where people could find software that was not a formal product, but had
been developed here, and worked? Not the Toolshed, that was for internal
folks. Not DECUS tapes. This resource was available to customers and
insiders alike. I think it had a one-word name like Compass or Anchor or
something like that. 

People could copy software from this resource free - the provision was
that there was no support offered and no guarantees.

Can't think of the name!

The second question is, do we have such a program in place today?

Thanks,

Assets, I think, was a library of re-usable code for All-In-1, for the
benefit of PL90 field work, I think. Free for PL90 people, but not
free for the customer.
