Jukka Virtanen
     invented GNU Pascal in March 1988, implemented the ISO-7185 and
     most of the ISO-10206 standard, etc.

     He created all files except those listed below, based on the GCC
     source.

Dr. Peter Gerwinski (http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~peter/)
     added Borland-Pascal-related and other extensions to GNU Pascal in
     summer 1995, ported GPC to EMX, does most of the development of
     the compiler since 1996, created and maintains the WWW home page,
     maintains the GNU Pascal mailing list, does some other
     administrative stuff, etc.

     He created `gpc-nodes.def', `rts/move.pas', the files in
     `config/emx/', and those in `doc/' (together with Jan-Jaap), and
     extensively modified all files.

Jan-Jaap van der Heijden
     ported GPC to DJGPP and to Microsoft Windows 95/NT, added ELF
     support in spring 1996, solved a lot of configuration and
     compatibility problems, created the GPC FAQ, etc.

     He created `Make-lang.in', `Makefile.in', `lang-options.h',
     `lang-specs.h', the files in `config/' (except those in
     `config/emx/'), the files in `doc/' (together with Peter),
     `rts/Make*', and `rts/config*', and modified `module.c' and most
     other files.

Frank Heckenbach (http://fjf.gnu.de/)
     rewrote and maintains the Run Time System since July 1997, wrote
     most of the standard units distributed with GPC (including BP
     compatibility units), wrote a large number of test programs,
     maintains the GPC To-Do list etc.

     He created most files in `units/', `demos/' and `script/', and the
     Pascal files in `rts/', modified all files in `rts/' and most
     files in `doc/', created many files in `test/'.

Prof. Abimbola A. Olowofoyeku ("The African Chief") (http://www.bigfoot.com/~african_chief/)
     created the original versions of many BP compatibility units in May
     1997, contributed code to other units and the Run Time System,
     helped porting GPC and the units to Cygwin and Mingw, wrote a
     number of test programs, contributed a Delphi-compatible `SysUtils'
     unit (ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/), etc.

     He created `units/gpcutil.pas', parts of `units/system.pas' and
     `rts/filename.pas' and a number of files in `test/'.

Nick Burrett
     fixed some bugs and cleaned up GPC in May 1998, etc.

     He modified `gpc-common.c', `parse.y', `module.c' and some other
     files.

Matthias Klose
     integrated GPC into EGCS and Debian GNU/Linux in May 1998, improved
     the installation process, etc.

     He modified `Makefile*', `configure' scripts and many other files.

Alexey Volokhov
     improved the performance of GPC's module/unit support in June 1997.

     He created `gpi-hash.c', `gpi-hash.h', and `circle-buf.c', and
     extensively modified `module.c'.

Bill Currie
     implemented more Borland extensions into GPC in July 1997.

     He modified `parse.y', `util.c', and `rts.c'.
