  1 PRIMARY AUTHORS AND MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO AM_UTILS:
  2 Original authors of amd were the Berkeley team and especially Jan-Simon
  3 Pendry.  Since then many people have contributed patches.
  4 
  5 This file lists the ones who contributed major code changes, in no
  6 particular order, and I thank them all.  This is of course not to diminish
  7 the smaller contributes of the many others.  Thank you all.
