When Dave mentions Peter he is talking about me, Peter Morrison.

I have been in the mainframe game since 1978, initially on VS1, then MVS and 
its successors...

I pushed for and got XDC installed at Software Developments (the Net/Master 
people) in 1990, and I was an enthusiastic user of XDC until 2017. (that's 27 
years). Prior to using XDC, we debugged using TSO TEST. I now shudder to think 
that we did that!

>From 2017 until the present I have been lucky to actually be part of the XDC 
>development team. (you can thank or blame me for TRAP2 breakpoints and 
>Dump/XDC)

I can't speak highly enough of Dave (formally, David Cole):

"... standing on the shoulders of Giants." (Isaac Newton, 1675)

I think the above quote sums up my feelings. Dave has left an indelible legacy 
with his development of XDC. It is up to us to ensure that his legacy is not 
forgotten, and is improved upon.

3 cheers for Dave!

Peter Morrison
