Thank you.
I should also note that the majority of thanks should go to the
contributors of this material. John Dykstra, for the listings,
and especially, to Tom Hunter and the other members of the CDC/Cray
group. Their main mission was preservation of CDC/Cray material,
and yet they have helped immeasurably.
