[comp.software-eng] help wanted

Help wanted.

I am working in software tools department at Dr. Hell GmbH, Kiel, West Germany.
In a paper by Barry Boehm (IEEE Trans. Soft. Eng., Oct. 1988) I came across
the following reference:
     E. Frewin, P.Hamer, B.Kitchenham, N.Roos, L.Wood,
     "Quality measurement and modeling - State of the art report"
     ESPRIT Rep. REQUEST/STC-gdf/001/51/001/QL-RP/00.7, July 1985.

I tried my best, but I was not able to obtain the article. Has anybody an idea
how could I get a copy of it? Can it still be considered as "state fo the
art"?
Anyway: is it possible or realistic to measure the software quality? I am rather
sceptic about McCabe, Halstead and the lot.
I guess there have been discussions on this topic before on this platform
but I missed them. I am new to email. One of the reasons for buying a modem
for my atari-st was the problem above (OOPS, really??).

Thanks.
