   Per Bothner wrote most of the `iostream' library, but some portions
have their origins elsewhere in the free software community.  Heinz
Seidl wrote the IO manipulators.  The floating-point conversion software
is by David M. Gay of AT&T.  Some code was derived from parts of BSD
4.4, which was written at the University of California, Berkeley.

   The iostream classes are found in the `libio' library.  An early
version was originally distributed in `libg++', and they are still
included there as well, for convenience if you need other `libg++'
classes.  Doug Lea was the original author of `libg++', and some of the
file-management code still in `libio' is his.

   Various people found bugs or offered suggestions.  Hongjiu Lu worked
hard to use the library as the default stdio implementation for Linux,
and has provided much stress-testing of the library.
