Thanks to all of them and everybody who should be missing by accident.

Also thanks to the following people:

Richard M. Stallman
For his encouraging words to get this edition done and some comments on
how a Texinfo file should be formatted.  Also for the efforts taken to
deal with the Systems Science Inc.  copyright/trademark incident in
April 1998.

Horst von Brand <vonbrand#sleipnir.valparaiso.cl>
For pointing to the inconsistency between the file name in
`@setfilename' (upper case) and the suggested info entry (lower case).

Ricard Torres <root#tamino.udg.es>
For pointing to some Un*x install problems in release 1.3.

Carsten Leonhardt <leo#arioch.oche.de>
For sending in a lot of spelling corrections for the text of release
1.3. It were 17 if I counted right.  What a shame.

H. Kronenberg <kronenberg#imst.de> For submitting numerous spelling
corrections for acronym expansions.

Henning Jonat <henningjonat#home.com> for sending a long list with
acronym expansions which were still missing.
