    Berkeley Yacc owes much to the unflagging efforts of Keith Bostic.
His badgering kept me working on it long after I was ready to quit.

    Berkeley Yacc is based on the excellent algorithm for computing LALR(1)
lookaheads developed by Tom Pennello and Frank DeRemer.  The algorithm is
described in their almost impenetrable article in TOPLAS 4,4.

    Finally, much of the credit for the latest version must go to those
who pointed out deficiencies of my earlier releases.  Among the most
prolific contributors were

         Benson I. Margulies
         Dave Gentzel
         Antoine Verheijen
         Peter S. Housel
         Dale Smith
         Ozan Yigit
         John Campbell
         Bill Sommerfeld
         Paul Hilfinger
         Gary Bridgewater
         Dave Bakken
         Dan Lanciani
         Richard Sargent
