mbox@nieland.DAYTON.OH.US (Ted Nieland) (06/07/90)
Sorry net readers, but I have been remiss in posting this. I beg your forgiveness and will try not to let my real job come first in the future. A while back the DECUS L&T Public Domain Working Group requested nominations for the favorite non-commercial software for VMS, UNIX, MS-DOS, RT, RSX, Macintosh, and Amiga DOS. The following are the results of the responses. The most intersting thing about the response, is that the most nominations came in for VMS systems followed VERY closely by Amiga-Dos nominations. The DECUS Public Domain Working Group would like to thank all those who participated in this project.
