PLEASE put stuff like this on PickWiki. It's a wonderful place to put snippets, small programs, etc etc.
The one thing to watch out for about a user group keeping a repository is that there's copyright issues involved. If you wrote the utility, you can put it on PickWiki, or in a repository, or whatever. What the User Group must NOT do (unfortunately) is to copy the code from the email into a repository :-( This would raise a massive can of worms :-( When did the US sign Berne? Things were a lot easier for USians (not us Europeans) before then. An alternative (should someone care to volunteer!) is to maintain an index on the u2ug website pointing at a repository that stores the emails. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 June 2007 22:50 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Basic developments "reverse engineering" tool ? Other user groups that I belong(ed) to provide(d) a repository for user submitted utilities. Things like neatly formatted file ACL's, tape listings, database copy routines, etc.... Each submission would include the utility's documentation, source code, any ancillary files (db) and executable if applicable. I am sure that there is a wealth of end user utilities available for U2. This source code listing program would be a great start. Since our software vendor does not provide any technical documentation about their system, the sort of cross-reference source code tool features mentioned by Susan is something I would find very usefull. Currently, I just save any emails from this group that have useful proc's or commands. Searching the archives is usefull but an index of software utilities by category might be a better way to help fledging U2 programmers see how to accomplish certain tasks. Garry L.
