historyThis document grew out of David Muir Sharnoff filing away postings that he saw (mostly Ed Vielmetti's postings to comp.archives) during 1991 and the first half of 1992. At the Summer 1992 USENIX Technical Conference, the other attendees of the archivists BOF convinced David to compile his data into a posting. David posted for about one year, then turned the list over to Mark Hopkins. Mark Hopkins <markh@csd4.csd.uwm.edu> took care of it for the summer of 1993 and then gave it back to David Sharnoff when he dropped off the net. Steve Robenalt <steven_robenalt@uscs.com> took over the list maintenance from Dave in January 1994. It was returned to Mark Hopkins <mark@omnifest.uwm.edu> in May 1994, but Dave's organization, Idiom Consulting, remains as the focal point for information to be submitted. In July through November 1994, David created a HTML version of the list while updates piled up. Eric S. Raymond made quite a few edits during this conversion process that had to be edited in by hand 'cause the compilers list was kinda unstable. Eventually, David and Steve took care of the backlog and passed maintenance back to Mark. Then on to Jacob Navia. Now that you are probably completely confused about who does what, Steve is maintaining the list again. Well, at least Steve was maintaining it until July of 1998 when the torch was passed to Bryan Miller If you should wish to make substantial changes to the free compilers list, please talk to us first. The version that you see is not quite the same as the version that we maintain.
