On the subject of Asimov, has anyone counted just how many program/
applications are available on the site?
You can find the MDC output for Asimov on http://faddensoftware.com/.
Looks like 7046 files, of which 3625 are disk images with a recognizable
format. Many disks contain multiple programs, and some programs span
a few disks, making a precise count difficult.
There's also the matter of deciding whether a particular program is an
"application" or whether it's something else, e.g. a system tool. Do
games count as applications? Large games may have a separate program
to administer the game - is that tool an "application" of its own or
not? All this is of course a matter of judgement. And even if some
people took the trouble to obtain a precise count, different counters
would most likely get different counts.
Finally, the contents of Asimov changes from time to time, so the
precise count changes too.
