Hello--
I recently inherited the "Steamer" project after the departure from my
organization of the former researchers. (In case you're not familiar
with it, Steamer is a Lisp-based simulation, based on a mathematical
model, of a 1200-psi steam propulsion plant like those found on a number
of the Navy's ships; it incorporates an icon-based graphics editor that
helps build views of the plant that can't be seen otherwise.) The
basic software that constitutes Steamer was placed in the public domain
several years ago, at the National Technical Information Service
(currently part of the Department of Commerce).
I have heard that NTIS sent numerous copies of Steamer to requesters.
I would like to find out how many people, organizations, etc. have
requested the Steamer software from NTIS, how many have made some use
of the software, and what (if any) modifications have been made to it
by users. If you fit in any of these categories, or know of anyone who
does, I'd like to hear from you.
Please reply directly to me. If there is enough interest, I will
summarize for the net.
