Re: Dr. John Ehrman
I worked with John back in the 90s when I was part of the languages group that he headed at Share. I always made it a point to attend his pitches as they were full of information that I could use and the hand-outs were always excellent. I just found that he had updated his excellent "Assembler Language Programming for IBM z System Servers" book: http://idcp.marist.edu/enterprisesystemseducation/assemblerlanguageresources-1.html I'm proud to say that I contributed to this. I found what I think is the smallest error possible in the version one of the book. There was a table where the bits were described for floating point values and one of the bits was wrong. :) He will be very missed.

Oh no, I am sad about this bad news. Thanks Tony. Dr. J Ehrman was very good and he is THE Assembler King! He also wrote many books which were very educational! Please be kind to send all of us condolences to Tineke.

Re: Dr. John Ehrman
I knew John from my involvement with SHARE assembler committee, and through work with IBM's Federal Systems Division in the 1980s. He was a true gentleman, always kind, very smart, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I was delighted to have been able to chat with him (for the first time in years) at SHARE in Providence last year. He seemed very at peace. -- Jerry -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Dr. John Ehrman
The one time I sat with him after a Share presentation, he was super helpful and patient...sent me a copy of a not til much later published assembler book he had been working on. He was a true asset to the assembler community. Rob Schramm On Tue, Feb 20, 2018, 5:49 PM Jesse 1 Robinson wrote: > John was at SHARE in Providence in August.

John was at SHARE in Providence in August. The week seemed to perk him up. We were even planning an Assembler Academy until he recently took a turn for the worse. I'm glad we got to see him then. . .
