I wrote kdsi as a companion to our "WICOMO" estimating tool.  (The
late Wang Institute's implementation of Boehm's COCOMO model.)  Rick
Cobb wrote the original version of mccabe, which I subsequently modified.
His work on mccabe inspired me to write the halstead tool and to implement
a metrics project at our company.  I analyzed two projects, a pascal
compiler and a distributed software distribution and control product, both
in the range of 30,000 to 40,000 delivered source instructions.
Unfortunately, failing revenues and disapointing results in the second
project ended the investigation.

In addition, Marty Leisner (leisner.henr@xerox.com) cleaned up the
ancient makefiles in the system.  However, any problems you might
have with the makefiles are due to my meddling, not to his efforts.
