+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.
+
+The current maintainer of rc is Tim Goodwin <tgoodwin@cygnus.co.uk>.
