\chapter{Acknowledgments}

Every aspect of this compiler is based to some degree on the Id Compiler,
Version 1, written by Vinod Kathail.  The overall organization as depicted in
Figure \ref{BlockDiagramFigure} evolved through extensive discussion with Steve
Heller.  The method of handling annotations arose after discussion with
Rishiyur S. Nikhil.  The binary format for CIOBL files is based on Symbolics'
token list stream and Richard Soley's ``CMC'' format.  Finally, the author is
grateful for the enthusiasm of those members of CSG who have expressed an
interest in the new compiler.
