Credits.MudOS

Read the Credits.LPmud file for credit information on the original LPmud
driver (that upon which MudOS is based).  LPmud was originally written
by Lars Pensjö, April 1989.
 
The following information is not guaranteed to be complete.  (I
apologize in advance if I have forgotten anyone).  For more information
read the './doc/driver/done-mudos' and './src/ChangeLog' files.
 
We would like to thank the following muds for extensive testing and numerous
bug reports:
 
TMI, Portals, Overdrive, Genocide, TMI-2, Vincent's Hollow, DreamShadow,
Nightmare, and many others.
 
The MudOS driver was a team effort with specific contributions from the
following people:

Erik Kay (Wayfarer) - runtime config system, message() efun, and others.
 
John Garnett (Truilkan) - improved mappings implementation, process_input
   and write_prompt callbacks, C++ style comments, lazy resets,
   master::valid_override callback, improved shared string management, and
   others.
 
Dwayne Fontenot (Jacques) - major rewrite of comm.c, TCP socket efuns,
   ported to AIX 3.2.
 
Dave Richards (Cynosure/Cygnus) - UDP socket efuns, enhanced TCP socket efuns,
   ported MudOS to the Sequent Symmetry (System V Release 3),
   and the time_expression() efun.
 
Stephen Iannce (Huthar) - children() and message() efuns, extensive testing of
   the socket efunctions.
 
Joel York (Shadowhawk) - multiple arguments version of input_to(), dprint
   option to ed.
 
Bob Farmer (Blackthorn) - fixed various efuns to honor the hidden object 
   flags, several new efuns, porting to DEC Alpha and others, bug fixes,
   and others.
 
James Waldrop (Sulam) - helped with reorganizing the huge switch in
   interpret.c into efunctions.c.
 
Michael Bundy - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on System V Release 4.
   (built on Dave Richard's System V Release 3 port).
 
Luke Mewborn (Zak) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on 386BSD
 
Olav Kolbu (Aragorn) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on Linux 0.99.3

Darin Johnson (Darin) - provided various patches and optimizations (including
   combining prelang.y and postlang.y into compiler.y).

David Bennett (Pinkfish) - provided enhancements for parse_command and for the
   telnet negotiation code in comm.c (as well as various other small bug 
   fixes), and the resolve() efun. 

John Fehr (Wildcard) - provided patches allowing MudOS to run on Amiga

Anthon Pang (Robocoder) - provided various patches, optimize function
	table search, amiga support

Tim Hollebeek (Beek) - LPC->C and patches, compiler rewrite, new function
	pointers, etc

Ti-Ming Chiang (Symmetry) - Countless optimizations; array, mapping and
	save_object rewrites

Thanks to Adam Beeman (Buddha) for making numerous suggestions on
improving the MudOS driver and for providing the TMI site as the original
MudOS development site.
