The I think that this kind of opinion is in scope. Do you mean something like the kind of descriptions or notes/comments in these entries? http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/cl-telnetd http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/lp90 http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/tmycin I appreciate your--and everybody else's--feedback.
