I just copied this from Dan Rosenbaum’s Winletter:
Phil Katz
If you ever downloaded a file, you met Phil Katz. Katz wrote the
shareware
program PKZip <http://www.winzip.com>, far and away the most popular
file
compression program. The program, written as a hobby in 1986, was part
of
computer technology infrastructure, common as browsers would become.
Katz was found dead the other day at the age of 37. He apparently lived
a
troubled life; the Milwaukee medical examiner put the cause of death as
complications from chronic alcoholism. He was found in a hotel room
holding a bottle of alcohol, and five empty liquor bottles were also
found in the
room.
No commentary here. But his passing, which was under-reported, should be
noted.
