Wirt has been a mainstay of the HP3000 community.  No one mentioned the fact
that he has some extremely good software developed for the HP3000.  QCTerm
was free to anyone.  Wirt and I have had many discussions over the years.  I
will miss his expertise tremendously.  I actually met him once at a INTEREX
show.  He was always very kind.  Wirt had a very brilliant mind.  Perhaps
the best thing that could be said of him was that he was very willing to
share his expertise with the HP3000 community, and always strived to educate
others.  His writing of several years ago about staying on the HP3000 was
excellent.  I still work on the HP3000 every day for my job, and have two
HP3000's at home.

Hi Folks,
    I just received an email from Wirt Atmar's sister Margie and she has
informed me that Wirt passed away this morning after a heart attack. His
genius will be more than missed. I was not instructed to notify the list,
but I feel you should all be aware of this.

    Take care,

         Eric Sand
