+Ferguson, Jack Fitts, Onno van der Linden, Carl Mascott, Jean-Pierre
+Radley, John Roll, Ian Searle, Bob Stockler.

+The calendar program examples/hical was written by Bob Stockler.
+
+Darrel Hankerson ported versions 1.2.x to DOS/OS2.
+
+Version 1.0 and 1.1
+===================
+
+Carl Mascott ported mawk to V7 and in the process rooted out
+some subtle (and not so subtle) bugs.
+
+Ian Searle ported mawk to System V and put up with my insane
+attempts to get fpe exception trapping off.
+
+An anonymous reviewer for comp.sources.reviewed did the
+MSC and Mac ports and wrote .bat files for the tests.
+Another or maybe the same reviewer did the Dynix port.
+
+Ports to new systems:
+	Ed Ferguson		MIPS M2000 C2.20 OS4.52
+	Jwahar R. Bammi		Atari ST
+	Berry Kercheval		SGI IRIX 4.0.1
+	Andy Newman		Next 2.1

+	Scott Hunziker		Coherent 4.0
+	Ken Poulton		Hpux
+	Onno van der Linden	386bsd 0.1
+	Bob Hutchinson		Linux 0.98p14
+
+The DOS version is a lot better thanks to suggestions and testing
+from Ed Ferguson, Jack Fitts, Nadav Horesh, Michael Golan and
+Conny Ohstrom. The DOS additions for 1.1.2d are all ideas of
+Ben Myers; much of the code is his too.
+
+Arnold Robbins kept me current on POSIX standards for AWK, and
+explained some of the "dark corners".
+
+Thank you to everyone who reported bugs or offered encouragement,
+suggestions or criticism. (At least the bugs got fixed).
