Dave:

For IP if you wish, here is Martin Campbell-Kelly's obituary, in the (UK) Guardian newspaper, for John Buxton, who died 
on 3 November. I had many enjoyable encounters with John over the years, and was co-editor with him on the 1969 NATO 
Software Engineering Report, a most memorable experience.

cheers

Brian
