Thank you for informing us Alfredo of this loss to both Fred's family and our community on here.

I remember meeting Fred at a RUG meeting decades ago.... He was an unforgettable guy!

RIP Fred

Subject: %043127 just had his bits turned off

Fred White just passed away surrounded by his loving family.

I wonder how many IMAGE/3000 databases (and TurboIMAGE, and IMAGE/SQL) in the world have had, have, and will continue to have the %043127 flag.  This includes databases residing in all kinds of backup media.

Alfredo

P.S.
For non-bits-and-bytes folks who may not be familiar with the legendary early story of MPE, %043127 is the octal representation of "FW" - the flag for a normal IMAGE/3000 database (and TurboIMAGE, and IMAGE/SQL).
