   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

 299 The file libguile/gc_os_dep.c is from the Boehm-Weiser conservative
 300 collector.  A lot of people have contributed to it, but probably not
 301 all to the code in gc_os_dep.c:
 302
 303     The SPARC specific code was contributed by Mark Weiser
 304     (weiser@parc.xerox.com).  The Encore Multimax modifications were
 305     supplied by Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu).  The adaptation to
 306     the RT is largely due to Vernon Lee (scorpion@rice.edu), on
 307     machines made available by IBM.  Much of the HP specific code and
 308     a number of good suggestions for improving the generic code are
 309     due to Walter Underwood (wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com).  Robert
 310     Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX
 311     code.  Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig
 312     (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) subsequently provided updates and
 313     information on variation between ULTRIX systems.  Parag Patel
 314     (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code.  Jesper
 315     Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and Martin
 316     Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port.
 317     Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and Brian D.Carlstrom
 318     (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports.  Douglas Steel
 319     (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code.  Bill Janssen
 320     (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader
 321     specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied
 322     linux and Sony News specific code.  Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1
 323     code.  He and Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided
 324     several generic bug fixes.  Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com)
 325     supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports.  Jeffrey Hsu
 326     (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port.  Brent Benson
 327     (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to a Motorola
 328     88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk).  Ari Huttunen
 329     (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to nonIBM
 330     development environments (a nontrivial task).  Patrick Beard
 331     (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port.  David
 332     Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements.
 333     Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the
 334     code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC.
 335     Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code.  Zhong
 336     Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the current
 337     typed allocation facility.  (His dynamic type inference code
 338     hasn't made it into the released version of the collector, yet.)
 339     (Blame for misinstallation of these modifications goes to the
 340     first author, however.)
