1 PRIMARY AUTHORS AND MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO AM_UTILS:
2 Original authors of amd were the Berkeley team and especially Jan-Simon
3 Pendry. Since then many people have contributed patches.
5 This file lists the ones who contributed major code changes, in no
6 particular order, and I thank them all. This is of course not to diminish
7 the smaller contributes of the many others. Thank you all.
