I just received this in my e-mail, which whilst hardly major, is still quite a nice compliment:
This is to inform you that the website leap.sourceforge.net has been designated a Cool Site in the Netscape Open Directory Computers/Software/Databases/Relational/Implementations/Quasi-relational
It’s also just past the tenth anniversary of LEAP’s first hesitating release, in May 1995. I had a search about Google, and found the original Usenet announcement posting.
That first release, the original DOS only, Borland Pascal version, was the basis of my final year project. The version distributed today is a complete rewrite in C, which runs on a whole host of Operating Systems and is still used, I’m pleased to say, in a lot of Universities. It’s hugely rewarding to hear from students and lecturers alike so long after I initially released it.
If doubt either Stefan Stanczyk or myself would have guessed at the response it received, and continues to receive. Many thanks to everybody who has helped out by either e-mailing, commenting, contributed or simply used LEAP (or bought the book!).
