+The current developers of Gawk would like to thank and acknowledge the
+many people who have contributed to the development through bug reports
+and fixes and suggestions.  Unfortunately, we have not been organized
+enough to keep track of all the names -- for that we apologize.
+
+The following people were involved in porting gawk to different platforms.
+
+	Mike Lijewski <mjlx@eagle.cnsf.cornell.edu> (IBM RS6000)
+	Kent Williams (MSDOS 2.11)
+	Conrad Kwok (MSDOS earlier versions)
+	Scott Garfinkle (MSDOS earlier versions)
+	Hal Peterson <hrp@pecan.cray.com> (Cray)
+
+This group of people comprise the "GAWK crack portability team", who
+test the pre-releases and ensure portability of gawk.
+
+	Pat Rankin <gawk.rankin@EQL.Caltech.Edu> (VMS)
+	Michal Jaegermann <michal@gortel.phys.UAlberta.CA>
+		(Atari, NeXT, DEC 3100)
+	Scott Deifik <scottd@amgen.com> (MSDOS 2.14, 2.15, 3.0)
+	Kai Uwe Rommel <rommel@ars.de> (OS/2)
+	Darrel Hankerson <hankedr@mail.auburn.edu> (DOS and formerly OS/2)
+	Mark Moraes <Mark-Moraes@deshaw.com> (Code Center, Purify)
+	Kaveh Ghazi <ghazi@noc.rutgers.edu> (Lots of Unix variants)
+
+Michal, Scott and Darrel go out of their way to make sure that gawk
+works on non-32 bit systems, and keep me on track where portability is
+concerned.  Indeed, all of these folks are incredibly helpful; gawk would
+not be the fine program it is now without them.
+  
+Last, but far from least, we would like to thank Brian Kernighan who
+has helped to clear up many dark corners of the language and provided a
+restraining touch when we have been overly tempted by "feeping
+creaturism".
