Which is great!
Now for an exercise, then. Find some software that was used then for a
publication. Your own, perhaps.
The corollary is that also the software needs to be preserved,
discovered, and metadataed enough to be runnable or at least understandable.
In my previous job (at RHUL) I used to use software from netlib
(http://www.netlib.org/liblist.html) which I think I can still find
again (I'll need to consult my notes to remember what I used.) Also, I
used pvm, which is still around -
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html, and matlab. So it's all
there. Except of course for the *actual* code that was used to run the
search I was doing, which I still have, but it isn't published, but it
wasn't that rocketsciencey, mostly a constrained multidimensional search.
Cheers
