Who helped you put this list together?

This document was one of the first collections of Frequently Asked
Questions. It was originally compiled in July 1989.

I took over the maintenance of this list. Almost all of the work
(and the credit) for generating this compilation was done by
Steve Hayman.

We also owe a great deal of thanks to dozens of Usenet readers who
submitted questions, answers, corrections and suggestions for this
list. Special thanks go to Maarten Litmaath, Guy Harris and
Jonathan Kamens, who have all made many especially valuable
contributions.

Part 5 of this document (shells) was written almost entirely by
Matthew Wicks .

Part 6 of this document (Unix flavours) was written almost entirely by
Pierre (P.) Lewis .

Where possible the author of each question and the date it was last
updated is given at the top. Unfortunately, I only started this
practice recently, and much of the information is lost. I was also
negligent in keeping track of who provided updates to questions.
Sorry to those who have made valuable contributions, but did not
receive the credit and recognition that they legitimately deserve.

I make this document available in *roff format (ms and mm macro
packages). Andrew Cromarty has also converted it into Texinfo format.
Marty Leisner cleaned up the Texinfo
version.

Major contributors to this document who may or may not be
recognized elsewhere are:

Steve Hayman
Pierre Lewis
Jonathan Kamens
Tom Christiansen
Maarten Litmaath
Guy Harris

The formatted versions are available for anonymous ftp from
ftp.wg.omron.co.jp under pub/unix-faq/docs .
