Sys Admin Database

I worked some last year at GTEi in Cambridge.  There we had an internal
project we called 'bones'.  It was a information capture and database
generation from captureed info for both hardware and software.  We got
it working on Solaris, and I think Linux.  There is no reason it should
not work on NT too.  IT is all in Perl.

It was designed to be GPLed, but we never got authorization from GTEi
in writing so we could do it.  You might contact James at blackbear.com
(sorry, I forget his real e-mail address, but that is his domain).  I 
know he kept on developing it personally after I left to go back to Texas
(before the first snow flew :)

... Let me know if you get a copy.  I want to put it on my machines at
honme.
