How could an obit of "our" John Gilmore not mention the IBM mainframe or PL/I?
I met (interviewed with, actually) "our" John (then going by "Jack") Gilmore in 1968 or 1969. At that point he was living in NY (or possibly NJ) and heading a software firm called John Gilmore or perhaps John W. Gilmore and Associates. No mention of that in the obit, although there is a gap in the obit from 1959 to 1974.

I suppose there could be two John Gilmores, roughly the same age, both with sysprog backgrounds, living in that area... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
