Jeff Fox is not only alive and well, he is prominently named in
http://www.geocities.com/mentifex/mind4th.html (in thanks to Jeff
for his help; see last line of code) and among the Greats of AI:
--
Why do so many of the Greats of AI have four-letter names?
Alan, Andy, Bart, Bill, Dave, Doug, Drew, Hans, Harv, *Jeff,
John, Jorn, Kurt, Mark, Marv, Matt, Matz, Ment, Mike, Neil,
Nick, Nils, Noam, Paul, Pete, Phil, Push, Ross, Seth, Vern.
P.S.
Jeff's Forthmind code suggestions have been so ultra-sophisticated
that yesterday from a VB-Mind coder I received e-mail begging for
an explanation of what Jeff meant when he improved a line of code:
Old SENSORIUM code: t @ onset @ = IF 1 bg ! ELSE 0 bg ! THEN
Jeff's improvement: t @ onset @ = bg !
[ Try to translate THAT Forth trick into Visual Basic! ]
