Finally, many thanks +go to David Sanderson, for reworking the man page to format well with +troff, and for providing many suggestions both for rc and its man page. + +Thanks to Boyd Roberts for the original history.c, and to Hugh again for +re-working parts of that code. + +Of course, without Tom Duff's design of the original rc, I could not +have written this shell (though I probably would have written *a* +shell). Almost of all of the features, with minor exceptions, have been +implemented as described in the Unix v10 manuals. Hats off to td for +designing a C-like, minimal but very useful shell. + +Tom Duff has kindly given permission for the paper he wrote for UKUUG +to be distributed with this version of rc (called "plan9.ps" in the +same ftp directory as the shell). Please read this paper bearing in +mind that it describes a program that was written at AT&T and that the +version of rc presented here differs in some respects. + +The current maintainer of rc is Tim Goodwin <tgoodwin@cygnus.co.uk>. |
