I'd appreciate feedback on the content and format. - I'm happy to add whatever other summaries have shown up here recently, if they seem like topics that will recur. Send mail to dalamb@umiacs.umd.edu. My site appears to have expired everything before 1 April, which shortened the set of things I could include now. - I'd expect to post it about once a month (with a 1-month expiry). - Does anyone archive this group? anyone willing to start doing so? - I titled this "f.a.q" because I expect more than CASE tools will wind up in it eventually. Other groups seem to title these things "welcome to X" for newsgroup X; I'm willing to go with whatever folks think is most informative. - The "originally collected by" lines are to give credit where it's due; let me know if this seems appropriate. Welcome to comp.software-eng, a newsgroup for discussion of software engineering and related topics. This is the "frequently asked questions" (FAQ) posting; it primarily summarizes availability of CASE tools of various kinds. Look for lines starting with "Topic:" ("g Topic" command in rn).
