A lot of people have contributed to Mac F2C, either knowingly or 
unknowingly.  Many thanks to....

AT&T and Bellcore for developing f2c and allowing others to make free use of the source code.  Mac F2C v1.3 incorporates the f2c version of 13 Nov 1994.

Dirk Fröhling of the University of Dortmund for developing Mac F2C support for the MrC plug-in compiler for CodeWarrior.  Dirk has been a key contributor to Mac F2C development for a long time.  Early on, he figured out how to make the support libraries compile under CodeWarrior and provided CodeWarrior project files and libraries.  Most of the CodeWarrior support in v1.3 was due to Dirk.  Dirk also suggested many of the features found in Mac F2C—including the interaction (via AppleEvents) with THINK and CodeWarrior.  Additionally, because I don’t have regular access to a PowerPC, Dirk  did all the development testing of the PPC native versions.  Needless to say, I could not have produced a PowerPC version without Dirk’s help.  Dirk also created the ToolServer tools that let you easily drive integrated Mac F2C<->CodeWarrior builds from ToolServer.

Kris L. Jorgensen of Purdue University for developing an MPW hosted version of f2c (complete with MPW-compatible f2c support libraries) and support for MPW tool generation using f2c.  He has kindly allowed me to include his F2C for MPW package in the Mac F2C distribution.  He also went through a lot of trouble to integrate his work with the Mac F2C package.

Mel Martinez of Johns Hopkins University for developing code that adds cooperative multitasking to FORTRAN code ported to the Macintosh with Mac F2C.  He has kindly allowed me to incorporate his ideas into Mac F2C v1.3.

Klaus Thermann of the University of Dortmund for the Tcl code that integrates Mac F2C with Alpha.

John Melby for lots of help making sure I got the THINK and Symantec support right.  He also spent a lot of time testing the installers for both TPM and SPM.

Tom Emerson of Symantec and Greg Galanos of Metrowerks for providing copies of their development systems and helping me integrate Mac F2C with them.  Special thanks to Tom for allowing me to plagarize some of his AppleScripts.

Jens Alfke of Apple Computer for AEBuild and related AppleEvent utilities.  Mac F2C incorporates his AEGizmos v1.4.1 package (this includes AEBuild, AEPrint and other goodies).  For anyone not familiar with AEBuild, it is by far the easiest way to build AppleEvent object descriptors.  Hours of frustration are replaced by a few lines of easy to understand code.  If you don’t have it, get it!

Jim Luther of Apple Macintosh Developer Technical Support for the MoreFiles collection of FileManager Utilities.  Mac F2C incorporates MoreFiles 1.3.  

Gary Woodcock of Apple Computer for the StdPrefsLib library of routines to handle preferences and preference files.  Mac F2C incorporates a slight modification of version 1.0 of the Standard Prefs Library (as distributed on the "develop Bookmark" CD).

And last—but certainly not least—to my wife Beth for patiently tolerating many late nights when I paid more attention to my computer than I did to her.
