Re: Pei-Yuan Wei has died

I did not know that.   Sad to hear about the early loss of this visionary
developer who was WAY ahead of his time.  I know he also took time away
from dev to care for an ill relative I think not long after ViolaWWW, so
while I don't know too much about him, he seemed like a very good person.
RIP Pei Wei.
