   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

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