   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.

  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

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