GNU tar THANKS file Public domain tar was written by John Gilmore, with contributions from Henry Spencer, Fred Fish, Ian Darwin, Geoff Collyer, Stan Barber, Guy Harris, Dave Brower, Richard Todd, Michael Rendell, Stu Heiss and Rich $alz. The FSF version, named GNU `tar', was derived from PDTAR by Jay Fenlason and Joy Kendall, and was maintained in turn by François Pinard and Paul Eggert. Many people further contributed to GNU tar by reporting problems, suggesting various improvements or submitting actual code. Here is a list of these people. Help me keep it complete and exempt of errors. See various ChangeLogs for a detailed description of contributions.
