Please send all replies via the path below] Are you a company doing software development in a UNIX* enviroment? Do you sometimes feel like your source code is out of control? Do you have an `SCCS' tree that looks like a gnarled oak, that breaks, but never bends, when you put demands on it? Do you have source that `makes' only after a lot of "tweeking" and hand-waving, and end up with non- reproducible binaries? Do you feel like you need some clear-cut procedures, but don't know where to start? Are your developers spending time writing in-house tools specific for their current needs, instead of being able to draw on a common pool of general-purpose tools? Do you find yourself with minimally tested software because you lack a thorough and integrated test suite? Well, my friends, what you need is a top quality integrationist -- someone who can take an overall view of your needs, who can develop procedures to fill those needs; a person who can see how all the pieces fit together and get them to do that with consistency and a minimum of effort; a person who can keep an eye out for general applicability and develop tools for those applications; someone who can see the forest *and* the trees. Coincidentally, I just happen to know such a person. You guessed it -- it's me. If your company currently has an opening for such a position, or if you feel you'd like to talk to me about creating one, please respond via electronic mail through the following path: ihnp4!ima!ism780!geoff and you replies will be forwarded to me. Or you can call me (collect) at (213) 394-7564 Oh yes, I suppose I should mention that I have a thorough working knowledge (by way of industry experience in a production environment) of UNIX*, the Shell (Bourne and C-shell), SCCS, make, the C compiler, integration and testing procedures, and documentation development. I also program in "C", 8086 assembler, some FORTRAN (but I'm not a mathematician nor a FORTRAN expert), and (ahem) Basic (hey, we all had to start somewhere, right?) A complete resume and references are available on request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Diane Holt ihnp4!ima!ism780!geoff (213) 394-7564
