Did you know Fred Fish died in 2007?

Post by kyz »

I only recently found out.

I'll miss him, his disks were excellent and I wouldn't be such a UNIX whiz if it weren't for his efforts with ADE and GeekGadgets at bringing Unix to the Amiga.

I thought it was daft to have ixemul.library talking directly to filesystem handlers instead of using the AmigaDOS calls. Then I timed them. ixemul was much, much faster. Kudos and respect.

I did know. Sorry that you've only recently found out. We probably should have made an announcement at the time. :(
Cheers!
