A chorus of students, 
under the direction of
Richard Fateman, have contributed to
building 
.Fr
from a mere melody into a full
symphony .
The major contributors to the initial system were
Mike Curry,  John Breedlove and Jeff Levinsky.
Bill Rowan added the garbage collector and array package.
Tom London worked on an early compiler and helped in 
overall system design.
Keith Sklower has contributed much to 
.Fr ,
adding the 
bignum package and rewriting most of code to increase
its efficiency and clarity.
Kipp Hickman and Charles Koester added hunks.
Mitch Marcus added *rset, evalhook and evalframe.
Don Cohen and others at Carnegie-Mellon 
made some improvements to evalframe and 
maintain the software to use it.
John Foderaro wrote the compiler, added a few functions,
and wrote this modest manual.
