Yup. I've got some of him on my homepage. I really tried hard to get some good
ones of him at the WCCC. He must have thought I'm crazy! ;-)

I didn't speak to him, but he seems to be an extremely nice guy.

Sometimes it's really interesting to see the programmers of the top programs.
For example, if one considers Quest (Fritz) as being a relatively aggressive
program, and one of the huge monsters, then it seems to be quite a bit the
opposite of Frans himself... :)

Greetings,

Heiko.
