As if today didn't suck bad enough already. I
hadn't even heard that
he was sick. Do you happen to know what the last release of the
Panda TOPS-20 distribution was, and if it's been archived?
I have agreed to recover the Tops-20 mailing list from Lingling.Panda.com
and host it on our Toad-1, a request Mark made of me long ago. I will
look into recovering the last Panda distribution bits at the same time.
Please allow us some time for mourning before that happens.
Mark was a good friend, responsible for my move from Chicago to Stanford
nearly 30 years ago. The universe is a lonelier place without him.
