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

272The file libguile/gc_os_dep.c is from the Boehm-Weiser conservative
273collector.  A lot of people have contributed to it, but probably not
274all to the code in gc_os_dep.c:
275
276    The SPARC specific code was contributed by Mark Weiser
277    (weiser@parc.xerox.com).  The Encore Multimax modifications were
278    supplied by Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu).  The adaptation to
279    the RT is largely due to Vernon Lee (scorpion@rice.edu), on
280    machines made available by IBM.  Much of the HP specific code and
281    a number of good suggestions for improving the generic code are
282    due to Walter Underwood (wunder@hp-ses.sde.hp.com).  Robert
283    Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX
284    code.  Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig
285    (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) subsequently provided updates and
286    information on variation between ULTRIX systems.  Parag Patel
287    (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code.  Jesper
288    Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and Martin
289    Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port.
290    Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and Brian D.Carlstrom
291    (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports.  Douglas Steel
292    (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code.  Bill Janssen
293    (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader
294    specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied
295    linux and Sony News specific code.  Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1
296    code.  He and Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided
297    several generic bug fixes.  Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com)
298    supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports.  Jeffrey Hsu
299    (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port.  Brent Benson
300    (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to a Motorola
301    88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk).  Ari Huttunen
302    (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to nonIBM
303    development environments (a nontrivial task).  Patrick Beard
304    (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port.  David
305    Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements.
306    Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the
307    code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC.
308    Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code.  Zhong
309    Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the current
310    typed allocation facility.  (His dynamic type inference code
311    hasn't made it into the released version of the collector, yet.)
312    (Blame for misinstallation of these modifications goes to the
313    first author, however.)
