Fred Fish (November 4, 1952 – April 20, 2007) was a computer programmer notable for work on the GNU Debugger and his series of freeware disks for the Amiga.
Fish also initiated the "GeekGadgets" project, a GNU standard environment for AmigaOS and BeOS.
[1]The Fish Disks were distributed at computer stores and Amiga enthusiast clubs.
Contributors submitted applications and source code and the best of these each month were assembled and released as a diskette.
Since the Internet was not yet in popular usage outside military and university circles, this was a primary way for enthusiasts to share work and ideas.
