I just happen to have that book on the shelf as well as it's companion,
also written by Mike if I remember correctly.
I have an old exec that Mike wrote or at least my modification of it. I
don't know if it ever make it to the public domain. The original was
called QD EXEC. It did a calculation among other things, which I have
never been able to understand, that would announce that Mike's birthday
was sometime in January, I think. I had always been intending to put a
note out on the list telling everyone when that was so everyone could
join in on a Happy Birthday or whatever. Now, however, I may not be
working with a VM system next January since I am planning on retiring
sometime this year. I'd be happy to send my version of it, QDJAB, which
just has some code inserted in it to remind me of my next trip to see my
family or whatever. I'm afraid that I've lost the original QD EXEC.
