 Contributors to GNU `gperf' Utility
 ***********************************
 
    * The GNU `gperf' perfect hash function generator utility was
      originally written in GNU C++ by Douglas C. Schmidt.  It is now
      also available in a highly-portable "old-style" C version.  The
      general idea for the perfect hash function generator was inspired
      by Keith Bostic's algorithm written in C, and distributed to
      net.sources around 1984.  The current program is a heavily
      modified, enhanced, and extended implementation of Keith's basic
      idea, created at the University of California, Irvine.  Bugs,
      patches, and suggestions should be reported to both
      `<bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>' and `<gperf-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net>'.
 
    * Special thanks is extended to Michael Tiemann and Doug Lea, for
      providing a useful compiler, and for giving me a forum to exhibit
      my creation.
 
      In addition, Adam de Boor and Nels Olson provided many tips and
      insights that greatly helped improve the quality and functionality
      of `gperf'.
 
    * A testsuite was added by Bruno Haible. He also rewrote the output
      routines for better reliability.
