+CREDITS
+
+This shell was written by me, Byron Rakitzis, but kudos go to Paul
+Haahr for letting me know what a shell should do and for contributing
+certain bits and pieces to rc (notably the limits code, print.c,
+most of which.c and the backquote redirection code), and to Hugh
+Redelmeier for running rc through his fussy ANSI compiler and
+thereby provoking interesting discussions about portability, and
+also for providing many valuable suggestions for improving rc's
+code in general. 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.
