+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 the 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
+provided various features modelled after UCI/CMU PDP-10 Lisp and
+Interlisp environments (editor, debugger, top-level).
+John Foderaro wrote the compiler, added a few functions,
+and wrote much of this manual. Of course, other authors have
+contributed specific chapters as indicated.
+Kevin Layer modified the compiler to produce code for the
+Motorola 68000, and helped make
+.Fr
+pass ``Lint''.
+.br
+This manual may be supplemented or supplanted by local
+chapters representing alterations, additions and deletions.
+We at U.C. Berkeley are pleased to learn of generally
+useful system features, bug fixes, or useful program packages,
+and we will attempt to redistribute such contributions.
