[Info-vax] Dennis Ritchie has passed on.

[Rich Jordan]

Dennis Ritchie has passed away.  He was (one of?) the creator(s) of
the C programming language and also a primary developer of Unix.

I'm not a huge fan of Unix (though it beats the MS alternatives all to
heck) but I've enjoyed 'C' since I took that first class using it in
1984 or so (on an 11/750 running BSD), and my two K&R 'C' books are
still some of the best references I've ever used.  R.I.P.  Mr Ritchie.
