It's true, Booth knew his way around a display file better than anyone.
But I always enjoyed Booth's humility, something I could always use a
little more of. I did a little traveling down memory lane, and here's a
quotation that is as quintessentially Booth as any. It was in a thread
where he asked a question about how COMP works when you specify the same
indicator twice. The money quote:
"I asked the question originally because I wanted to be dead-ass sure
that COMP worked the I "knew" it does. When I am the wrongest is when
I am convinced I am the rightist. So I asked."
Pure Booth.

Folks:
I just found out that Booth Martin passed away last August.
Aside from being an A++ nice guy, the community has lost one of its
greatest experts in display file programming.
