Numerous users of the Extension Language Kit (too many to mention them
|
|
|
|
all) have contributed ideas, suggestions for improvements, bug reports,
|
|
|
|
source code, useful feedback, as well as other kinds of support to this
|
|
|
|
and earlier releases. Their help has made the present version of Elk
|
|
|
|
Extension Language Kit a genuinely collective effort.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm especially obliged to my former colleague Carsten Bormann, who
|
|
|
|
has significantly influenced the design of Elk since the beginning
|
|
|
|
of the project in 1987. Carsten also wrote most of the bignum code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also would like to thank Claus Bathe of NME Berlin for securing the
|
|
|
|
permission from his management to publish Elk 1.2 (from which the
|
|
|
|
present version has been derived), and Prof. Dr. Sigram Schindler for
|
|
|
|
providing the work environment for my research work at Technische
|
|
|
|
Universitaet Berlin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, I would like to thank Nick Betteridge, Stephen Bevan,
