Message-ID: <256@wxlvax.UUCP> Date: Tue, 20-Mar-84 10:49:37 EST Article-I.D.: wxlvax.256 Posted: Tue Mar 20 10:49:37 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 21-Mar-84 02:38:57 EST References: druny.841 Lines: 13 DSEE is Domain Software Engineering Environment, and DPSS is Domain Professional Support Services. We have had a beta test copy of DPSS for about 2 months. DPSS is heavily graphics and menu based, and consists of 5 tools: document (an editor), mail, file (notions of desks, file cabinets, folders, etc.), calc (spread sheet), and calendar (record your meetings). We found the tools to have a good number of bugs, poor performance, a poor user interface, and limited functionality. If the product were released as is (but with the bugs fixed), we would not buy it. A decision to release the product soon, as opposed working on it for a few more months, is supposed to be made by Apollo by April 9.
