[HECnet] Hans Vlems...

[Supratim Sanyal]

Jeez. That would be "the other Johnny". I often use the DECnet dump tool he wrote (anfdump) and will always have fond memories of interactions we have had.

Same for Hans. He used to go out of his way to retrieve and digitize arcane pieces of software only he seemed to have physical media of. Again fond memories of email exchanges.

May their souls rest in peace.
