Idle curiosity -- Time to implement MIME

1993-09-08 00:04:17

How much effort (man months?) did it take to implement a MIME parser?

The real time from start to end was about 1 month (I did this last
April), and some occasional fixes and tweaks once in while later. But,
for the plain parser part, I think I go with the others here: 2-3
weeks testing and all included.

(Mailing this just to give a data point of yet another independent
MIME parser implementation. Is someone making a count of them? :-)
