"Feedback from the users has helped the Fermilab product developers improve their products", says Paul Lebrun, of Experimental Physics & Computing group in the Computing Division. Contributions from the users have been added to some of the products and re-distributed to the user community. The developers have found that the small added support load has been a worthwhile trade-off. Some quotes from e-mails received from users:
"I have installed FBSNG version 1.2c on my Linux computer... I really like the software. This is just what I was looking for to help manage jobs on our new Linux Cluster. The documentation is good as well...Thanks for the great software," - R. Scott Rowland, Ph.D. "I've been using Histoscope for more than 5 years now, on a Sun machine. I think it's one of the greatest data display tools I've seen, and the only one with interactive, real-time capabilities. Really an excellent piece of work..." - Kostas Oikonomou "I want to thank you for the excellent plot_widget widget set that you have made avaliable..." - Steve Markstrom "I am a research faculty member in the computer center of Insitute of High Energy Physics of China and we want to construct a parallel computing system model. We have heard that FBS is an excellent product for high energy computing...Thank you!" - Fan Yong "Here at NASA Lewis Research Center, a project is nearing completion ... I have been looking for plain line plotting widgets and found the XYPlot widget in Histo-Scope to be quite nice." - J.W.Mitchell "Using the juke system was a real benefit to SLAC, and I appreciate your making the software available." - B.
