Fails WP:GNG. Could not find any sources that would make this important enough for an article. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:53, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it stands - was really sorta trivial at the time, pretty sure there's nothing by 2018 standards. (And I created it!) If anyone can produce a source ... - David Gerard (talk) 06:40, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This software was effectively dead before the advent of online sources and its broader coverage is probably only in niche magazines like Unix Review, C++ Report or C/C++ Users Journal - Google books show only preview there (probably not more than one page about Fresco). I also found one thesis from Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California devoting 1/3 page to Fresco, but this is somewhat like dictionary entry.
