I was very sad to hear today that Fred Fish died yesterday at his home in Idaho.
Fred compiled the famous Fish Disks of freely redistributable software for the Amiga, and was the very first person I met at Cygnus when I started working there in 1995. He was one of the resident GDB hackers at the time, until he left for Be in 1998. Fred was responsible for many important contributions to GDB and binutils over the years.
I didn't know Fred well, but what I do remember was that he was the most welcoming and friendly person I could have met on my first day at Cygnus.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family. :sad2:
