\newpage\section*	{Acknowledgements}
Many people have made comments about and contributions to the ISODE which have
been most helpful.
The following list is by no means complete:

The first three releases of the ISODE were developed at the Northrop
Research and Technology Center,
and the first version of this manual is referenced as NRTC Technical
Paper \#702.
The initial work was supported in part by Northrop's Independent
Research and Development program.

The Wollongong Group supported ISODE for its 4.0 and 5.0 release.
they deserve much credit for that.
Further,
they contributed an implementation of RFC1085,
a lightweight presentation protocol for TCP/IP-based internets.

The ISODE is currently supported by Performance Systems International,
Inc.~and NYSERNet, Inc.
It should be noted that PSI/NYSERNet support for the ISODE represents a
substantial increase in commitment.
That is,
the ISODE is now a funded project,
whereas before ISODE was always an after-hours activity.
The NYSERNet effort is partially support by the U.S.~Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency and the Rome Air Development Center of the U.S.~Air Force
Systems Command under contract number F30602--88--C--0016 to NYSERNet Inc.

Christopher W.~Moore\index{Moore, Christopher W.}
of the Wollongong Group has provided much help with ISODE both in terms of
policy and implementational matters.
He also performed Directory interoperability testing against a different
implementation of the OSI Directory.

Dwight E.~Cass\index{Cass, Dwight E.}
of the Northrop Research and Technology Center was one of the original
architects of {\em The ISO Development Environment}.
His work was critical for the original proof of concept and should not be
forgotten.
John L.~Romine\index{Romine, John L.}
also of the Northrop Research and Technology Center provided many
fine comments concerning the presentation of the material herein.
This resulted in a much more readable manuscript.
Stephen H.~Willson\index{Willson, Stephen H.},
also of the Northrop Research and Technology Center,
provided some help in verifying the operation of the
software on a system running the AT\&T variant of \unix/.

The \man librosap(3n) library was heavily influenced by an earlier native-TCP
version written by George Michaelson\index{Michaelson, George}
of University College London, in
the United Kingdom.
Stephen E.~Kille\index{Kille, Stephen E.},
also of University College London,
provided valuable feedback on the \man pepy(1) utility.
In addition,
both Steve and George provided us with some good comments concerning the
\man libpsap(3) library.
Steve is also the conceptual architect for the addressing scheme used in
the software,
and he modified the \man librosap(3n) library to support half-duplex mode when
providing ECMA ROS service.
George contributed the CAMTEC X.25 interface.
Simon Walton\index{Walton, Simon},
also of University College London,
has been very helpful in providing constant feedback on the ISODE during
beta-testing.

The INCA project donated the QUIPU Directory implementation to the ISODE.
Stephen E.~Kille\index{Kille, Stephen E.},
Colin J.~Robbins\index{Robbins, Colin J.},
and Alan Turland\index{Turland, Alan},
all of University College London,
are the three principals who developed the directory software
and also wrote \volfive/ describing the QUIPU directory.
In addition,
Steve Titcombe\index{Titcombe, Steve},
also of UCL
spent considerable time on the DIrectory SHell (DISH).

The UCL work has been partially supported by the commission of the
EEC\index{EEC} under its ESPRIT\index{ESPRIT} program,
as a stage in the promotion of OSI standards.
Their support has been vital to the UCL activity.
In addition,
QUIPU is also funded by the UK Joint Network Team (JNT).

Julian P.~Onions\index{Onions, Julian},
at the Department of Computer Science at Nottingham University,
is the current \man pepy(1) guru,
having brainstormed and implemented the encoding functionality along with
Stephen E.~Easterbrook\index{Easterbrook, Stephen}
of University College London.
Julian also contributed the UBC X.25 interface 
along with the TCP/X.25 TP0 bridge,
and has also contributed greatly to \man posy(1).
Julian's latest contribution has been a {\em transport service bridge}.
This is used to masterfully solve interworking problems between different OSI
stacks (TP0/X.25, TP4/CLNP, RFC1006/TCP, and so on).

John Pavel\index{Pavel, John}
and Godfrey Cowin\index{Cowin, Godfrey}
of the Department of Trade and Industry/National Physical Laboratory in the
United Kingdom
both contributed significant comments during beta-testing.
In particular, John gave us a lot of feedback on \man pepy(1)
and on the early FTAM DIS implementation.
John also contributed the SunLink X.25 interface.

Keith Ruttle\index{Ruttle, Keith} of CAMTEC Electronics Limited in the United
Kingdom contributed the both the driver for the new CAMTEC X.25 interface and
the CAMTEC CONS interface (X.25 over 802 networks).
This latter driver was later removed from the distribution for lack of use.

In addition,
Andrew Worsley\index{Worsley, Andrew}
of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Melbourne in
Australia
pointed out several problems with the FTAM DIS implementation.

Mark R.~Horton\index{Horton, Mark R.}
of AT\&T Bell Laboratories
also provided some help in verifying the operation of the
software on a 3B2~system running \unix/ System~V release~2.
In addition,
Greg Lavender\index{Lavender, Greg} of NetWorks One
under contract to the U.S.~Navy Regional Data Automation Center (NARDAC),
provided modifications to allow the software to run on a generic port of
\unix/ System~V release~3.

Jem Taylor\index{Taylor, Jem}
of the Computer Science Department at the University of Glasgow
provided some comments on the documentation.

Hans-Werner Braun\index{Braun, Hans-Werner}
of the University of Michigan provided the inspiration for the initial part of
Section~\ref{name}.

A previous release of the software contained an ISO TP4/CLNP package
derived from a public-domain implementation developed by the National
Bureau of Standards\index{NBS}.
The purpose of including the NBS package (and associated support)
was to give an example of how one would interface the code to a ``generic'' TP4
implementation.
As the software has now been interfaced to various native TP4 implementations,
the NBS package is no longer present in the distribution.

John A.~Scott\index{Scott, John A.}
of the MITRE Corporation contributed the SunLink OSI interface for TP4.
He also wrote the FTAM/FTP gateway which the MITRE Corporation has generously
donated to this package. 

Philip B.~Jelfs\index{Jelfs, Philip B.}
of the Wollongong Group upgraded the FTAM/FTP gateway to the
``IS-level'' (International Standard) FTAM.

Rick Wilder\index{Wilder, Rick}
and
Don Chirieleison\index{Chirieleison, Don}
of the MITRE Corporation contributed the VT implementation which the MITRE
Corporation has generously donated to this package.

Jacob Rekhter\index{Rekhter, Jacob}
of the T.~J.~Watson Research Center, IBM Corporation
provided some suggestions as to how the system should be ported
to the IBM RT/PC running either AIX or 4.3\bsd/.
He also fixed the incompatibilities of the FTAM/FTP gateway when running on
4.3\bsd/ systems.

Ashar Aziz\index{Aziz, Ashar}
and
Peter Vanderbilt\index{Vanderbilt, Peter},
both of of Sun Microsystems Inc.,
provided some very useful information on modifying the SunLink OSI interface
for TP4.

John Brezak\index{Brezak, John}
of Apollo Computer, Incorporated 
ported the ISODE to the Apollo workstation.
Don Preuss\index{Preuss, Don},
also of Apollo,
contributed several enhancements and minor fixes.

Ole-Jorgen Jacobsen\index{Jacobsen, Ole-Jorgen} of Advanced Computing
Environments provided some suggestions on the presentation of the material
herein.

Nandor Horvath\index{Horvath, Nandor}
of the Computer and Automation Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
while a guest-researcher at the DFN/GMD in Darmstadt, FRG,
provided several fixes to the FTAM implementation and documentation.

George Pavlou\index{Pavlou, George}
and Graham Knight\index{Knight, Graham}
of University College London contributed some management instrumentation to
the \man libtsap(3n) library.

Juha Hein\"{a}nen\index{Hein\"{a}nen, Juha}
of Tampere University of Technology
provided many valuable comments and fixes on the ISODE.

Finally,
James Gosling,\index{Gosling, James}
author of the superb Emacs screen-editor for \unix/,
and
Leslie Lamport,\index{Lamport, Leslie}
author of the excellent \LaTeX{} document preparation system
both deserve much praise for such winning software.
Of course,
the whole crew at U.C.~Berkeley\index{U.C.~Berkeley}
also deserves tremendous praise for their wonderful work on their variant of
\unix/.
