Unfortunately, we have not been organized +enough to keep track of all the names -- for that we apologize. + +The following people were involved in porting gawk to different platforms. + + Mike Lijewski <mjlx@eagle.cnsf.cornell.edu> (IBM RS6000) + Kent Williams (MSDOS 2.11) + Conrad Kwok (MSDOS earlier versions) + Scott Garfinkle (MSDOS earlier versions) + Hal Peterson <hrp@pecan.cray.com> (Cray) + +This group of people comprise the "GAWK crack portability team", who +test the pre-releases and ensure portability of gawk. + + Pat Rankin <gawk.rankin@EQL.Caltech.Edu> (VMS) + Michal Jaegermann <michal@gortel.phys.UAlberta.CA> + (Atari, NeXT, DEC 3100) + Scott Deifik <scottd@amgen.com> (MSDOS 2.14, 2.15, 3.0) + Kai Uwe Rommel <rommel@ars.de> (OS/2) + Darrel Hankerson <hankedr@mail.auburn.edu> (DOS and formerly OS/2) + Mark Moraes <Mark-Moraes@deshaw.com> (Code Center, Purify) + Kaveh Ghazi <ghazi@noc.rutgers.edu> (Lots of Unix variants) + +Michal, Scott and Darrel go out of their way to make sure that gawk +works on non-32 bit systems, and keep me on track where portability is +concerned. Indeed, all of these folks are incredibly helpful; gawk would +not be the fine program it is now without them. + +Last, but far from least, we would like to thank Brian Kernighan who +has helped to clear up many dark corners of the language and provided a +restraining touch when we have been overly tempted by "feeping +creaturism". |
