Tim Theisen created ghostview 1.5. , which was the starting point of gv.

Peter Deutsch is the author of the ghostscript interpreter, without which gv would be not more than an empty hull.

Kaleb S.Keithley turned Xaw into the extremely nice Xaw3d widget set.

Keith Packard invented the Layout widget, the heart of gv's widget tree.

I'd like to thank Martin Buck (Martin-2.Buck@student.uni-ulm.de) for not only extensively checking gv on Linux, Solaris, Irix and HP/UX but also for his suggestions, bug reports, bug fixes and discussions. Tim Adye (adye@v2.rl.ac.uk) sent me quite many bug reports concerning the VMS version. Fortunately he always included the appropriate fixes :-). Bjorn Nilsson (Bjorn.S.Nilsson@nbi.dk) put a lot of time into checking and fixing gv on Digital UNIX.

Many thanks also to all those who sent me suggestions, bug fixes and workarounds for portability problems for FreeBSD, SunOS, Solaris and other operating systems.

Finally I'd like to thank Jim Jennis (jhjennis2@mmm.com) for carefully testing all versions of gv. If there is something like the notion of a 'chief-beta-tester' he deserves this attribute for his careful and devoted work.
