Re: In Memoriam: David N. Williams (1934 -- 2024)

David's work on disassembling the format of floating-point numbers
is a very valuable contribution to the iForth libraries. He also
helped me along with testing the C MPFR dll/so implementation for
iForth's Apple version. He was a very special person to correspond
with a unique approach to Forth.

PS: It could be that David's vast on-line archive at
https://websites.umich.edu/~williams/archive is on shaky grounds.
It was still up when I checked just now.
David oversaw the distribution of the Schoonschip sources (prof.
Veltman)
and these sources are also in the online archive. He sent me his/the
680x0 assembly language sources for Schoonschip in 2009. The archive
contains
a directory with tests in David's very recognizable style. I'll be happy
to send these files to people that have trouble accessing the on-line
archive.
