Lars Pensj|, April 1989 (lars@cd.chalmers.se (no longer valid)).
Lars gives the following credit:
The regexp package was made by Henry Spencer.
The ed package was not done by me. See the file ed.c for information.
Bit manipulations was implemented by pell AT lysator DOT liu DOT se who also found
several bugs that had eluded me for months.
Valuable help and hints from: Mark Nagel, James Seidman, Moonchilde and more.
Roland Dunkerley III fixed for-loops, do-while and the operators ++ and --.
Sean T Barrett made smalloc DOT c.
Lennart Augustsson convinced me to implement a compiler for a virtual
stack machine DOT He also implemented the built-in preprocessor.
John S DOT Price found and fixed many bugs.
The shadow idea was "forwarded" to me by John S DOT Price from Team Cthulhu
(Bill Burdick, Roy Riggs, Mitch Adler).
Michael Malone, Michael O'Reilly, Klaus Rennecke, J|rn Rennecke and
Germano Caronni found and fixed a large amount of bugs.
Petri Wessman fixed changes for SCO unix and AIX.

The non-corrupting indentation code for ed was written by Felix A DOT Croes,
aka Dworkin (<felix AT dworkin DOT nl>) and originates from his DGD.
Mud-sprintf() is from Lynscar (Sean A Reith, <gusar AT uniwa DOT oz DOT au> and
was donated into the Public Domain.
The alist based mapping implementation was supplied by Dworkin.
The idea for query_actions and an implementation that has been partially used
is from Peter Eriksson (aka lpd) pen AT lysator DOT liu DOT se
The port to Amiga was done by Mateese ( Lars Duening )
The udp connectivity is from the CD driver, and was fitted in by deepthought.
Demos, Freaky, Hurl, Hyp, Mateese, Pepel and Jof did a lot of alpha
testing.
Reimer Behrends located a lot of bugs DOT He also supplied a portable macro to
test numbers for having but a single bit set, a mergesort based
sort_array() and variadic function support.
get_object_actions() was supplied by herp.
Marcus Meissner found and fixed many bugs.

a FreeBSD system for testing.
- Blackcat (?) for providing me with access to a Linux system for testing.
- Freaky for providing me with access to an Irix system for testing, numerous
bug reports, and lots of patience when new versions crashed even faster
than the old ones.
- Kees Leune for providing me with access to a Linux/Sparc system for
testing.
- Stefan Petri and contributors for the extensive documentation of the
Amylaar driver (see also doc/README).
- the MudOS programmers for the efun terminal_colour() and Michael Schaefer
for adapting it for LDMud.
- Martin Brenner: initial multi-port implementation, inetd compatibility
code.

- Mark Daniel Reidel (Karm AT Nightfall) did the first implementation of
the mySQL efuns.

Darwin port.
- Bart van Driessche (bart AT multi DOT franken DOT de, Hunter AT FinalFrontier) did the
new OS/2 port.

found new ways to crash the driver.
- Adam Helps donated the LPC implementation of the A* pathfinding algorithm.
- Christian Welzel adapted ptmalloc (a threadsafe variant of Doug Lea's
allocator) for LDMud and extended it to support garbage collection.
