2 PRIMARY AUTHORS AND MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO AM_UTILS:
3 Original authors of amd were the Berkeley team and especially Jan-Simon
4 Pendry. Since then many people have contributed patches.
6 This file lists the ones who contributed major code changes, in no
7 particular order, and I thank them all. This is of course not to diminish
8 the smaller contributes of the many others. Thank you all.
10 * Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
12 The most significant changes were made by Erez Zadok in terms of bug fixes,
13 ports, and new features added. Erez Zadok is the current maintainer of
14 am-utils, as of January 1997.
16 There is a mailing list dedicated to developers of am-utils. To subscribe
17 to it, send mail to majordomo@majordomo.cs.columbia.edu, with the body of
18 the message having the single line "subscribe amd-dev".
