 GNU `tar' Authors
 =================
 
    GNU `tar' was originally written by John Gilmore, and modified by
 many people.  The GNU enhancements were written by Jay Fenlason, then
 Joy Kendall, and the whole package has been further maintained by
 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG, and finally Franc,ois Pinard, with the help of
 numerous and kind users.
 
    We wish to stress that `tar' is a collective work, and owes much to
 all those people who reported problems, offered solutions and other
 insights, or shared their thoughts and suggestions.  An impressive, yet
 partial list of those contributors can be found in the `THANKS' file
 from the GNU `tar' distribution.
 
    Jay Fenlason put together a draft of a GNU `tar' manual, borrowing
 notes from the original man page from John Gilmore.  This was withdrawn
 in version 1.11.  Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG and Amy Gorin worked on a
 tutorial and manual for GNU `tar'.  Franc,ois Pinard put version 1.11.8
 of the manual together by taking information from all these sources and
 merging them.  Melissa Weisshaus finally edited and redesigned the book
 to create version 1.12.
 
    For version 1.12, Daniel Hagerty contributed a great deal of
 technical consulting.  In particular, he is the primary author of 
 Backups.
