Michel Dagenais, Stéphane Boucher, Robert Gérin-Lajoie, Pierre Laplante, Pierre Mailhot · PolyPublie (École Polytechnique de Montréal) · 1993
Numerous software packages are being used and updated regularly on most computer systems. Installing all these software packages is a formidable task because each one has a different procedure for compiling or for placing the files required at run time. The LUDE (Logitheque Universitaire Distribuee et Extensible) software library is an organization for installing software packages, a set of tools to install and uninstall software packages and browse their documentation, and a number of FTP servers offering over 100 pre-installed freely redistributable software packages. It offers functionality and flexibility not available in existing systems.
