Results of 'Programs Wanted Survey'

[Gary Perlman]

A few weeks ago, I sent out a request for the programs people wanted.
Since no answers have been received for a week, it is time to report.
Here is the list, in the order they arrived, without comment.
Note that some are for facilities that exist, so don't point them out.

A portable window system (non termcap) using a mouse
C compiler for the Commodore 64
Time management system, allowing free format input, with summaries, PERT
Memory for the last file names used
Debugging tool with more intelligence
A reasonable debugger

Program code browser
Networking software that is more intelligent, device independent, efficient
More libraries
