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 Pensj|, 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, Nanvaent, 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,
    many bug reports and misc fixes, countless compilation errors

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, Cloud) - Countless optimizations; array, mapping and
	save_object rewrites

Svata Dedic (Belgarat) - Win32 fixes, parser fixes, misc fixes

Martin Tyler (Burty) - lex.c fixes, other misc fixes

Troels Therkelsen (Qualin) - numerous bug reports and ideas

Maarten de Jong - amiga compilation via gcc

George Reese (Descartes) - bug reports, original Win32 port, mSQL support

Mark ? (Mystic) - tons of ideas; fixes for exotic options settings

Skeeter Hartwig (Jihad) - numerous bug reports

David Rudy (Aule) - optimizations; high usage testing and stability patches

Greg Stein (Deathblade) - various fixes and bug reports

Ben Gras (Fermat) - MD5 crypt(), various fixes

Kars de Jong (Turrican) - various bug fixes

Simon Matthews (Andrew) - MySQL support, various patches and bug reports

and tons of others who have accidentally been omitted
