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.

Alexander Mai <st002279#hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de>
For pointing out a left over ISO character my replacing routine had ignored and for suggesting to add a 'README' file to the distributon.

Andres Soolo <soolo#math.ut.ee>
For contributing a Perl search routine for V.E.R.A.
