   6 Aubrey Jaffer:
   7 is the author of SCM, the Scheme interpreter upon which Guile is
   8 based.  Guile started from SCM version 4e1 in November -94 and is
   9 still largely composed of the original SCM code.
  10
  11 George Carrette:
  12 wrote files present in Siod version 2.3, released in December of 1989.
  13 Siod was the starting point for SCM.  The major innovations taken from
  14 Siod are the evaluator's use of the C-stack and being able to garbage
  15 collect off the C-stack

 251 The file libguile/gc_os_dep.c is from the Boehm-Weiser conservative
 252 collector.  A lot of people have contributed to it, but probably not
 253 all to the code in gc_os_dep.c:
 254
 255     The SPARC specific code was contributed by Mark Weiser
 256     (weiser@parc.xerox.com).  The Encore Multimax modifications were
 257     supplied by Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu).  The adaptation to
 258     the RT is largely due to Vernon Lee (scorpion@rice.edu), on
 259     machines made available by IBM.  Much of the HP specific code and
 260     a number of good suggestions for improving the generic code are
 261     due to Walter Underwood (wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com).  Robert
 262     Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX
 263     code.  Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig
 264     (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) subsequently provided updates and
 265     information on variation between ULTRIX systems.  Parag Patel
 266     (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code.  Jesper
 267     Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and Martin
 268     Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port.
 269     Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and Brian D.Carlstrom
 270     (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports.  Douglas Steel
 271     (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code.  Bill Janssen
 272     (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader
 273     specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied
 274     linux and Sony News specific code.  Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1
 275     code.  He and Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided
 276     several generic bug fixes.  Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com)
 277     supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports.  Jeffrey Hsu
 278     (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port.  Brent Benson
 279     (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to a Motorola
 280     88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk).  Ari Huttunen
 281     (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to nonIBM
 282     development environments (a nontrivial task).  Patrick Beard
 283     (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port.  David
 284     Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements.
 285     Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the
 286     code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC.
 287     Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code.  Zhong
 288     Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the current
 289     typed allocation facility.  (His dynamic type inference code
 290     hasn't made it into the released version of the collector, yet.)
 291     (Blame for misinstallation of these modifications goes to the
 292     first author, however.)
