I don't know how many of you knew of Alan Eldridge - I met him because of my 
work with Eric Van Riper.. and  Dj Delorie's c++ compiler, that Alan worked on 
(AE* libraries, etc.) back in the mid 90's..  now and again he'd be bored and 
would kick out a program and send it over to me for the PDN.. I still have one 
of them at least in the pdnunix directory..  I still remember him joking about 
a person like me (a grandmother <g>) getting into *nix .. he said all he could 
picture was a little granny awkin' and grep'n all day long <g>

His more current work I understand, was with KDE under Free-Bsd..and I'm sure 
he will be sorely missed in the linux community.

There's an article about Alan on the Linux News site:

May he rest in peace ..

Take care,
Janis
