Since 1978, the Department of Energy has given Lawrence Berkeley Labs ... funds to provide organizational support to the 1700-member Software Tools Users Group. The lab has collected and evaluated tools, accumulated sets of utilities, and disseminated information about both of those areas to the group's members. Now, however, the DOE is slated for oblivion, and the seed money is about to stop. Unless private enterprise comes to rescue when Uncle Sam leaves off, the Software Tools Users Group will probably disintegrate. Software designers who wish to help financially ot to use the available tools can contact Debbie Scherrer at Lawrence Berekely, (415) 486-5881. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
