 Hi,

Long term followers of this mailing list from Australia
 will remember the many contributions of Michael Smith.
Recently he has been rather quiet and I assumed it
may have been due to the pressures of study or some
thing like it.

Yesterday while perusing a copy of "Australian Personal
Computer", I noticed a column titled Developers Corner by
one Michael Smith, discussing the virtues of Fortran.
The only products mentioned were Digtal's Visual Fortran
and Microsoft.

Is this really the same person?
===============================

Given the excellent circulation of the magazine, maybe
we should ply him with questions about FBSD development.
I figure that for someone who wants to do slightly offbeat
things like using fortran, LINUX or FBSD is the way to
go.

Regards ...
