The GNU TeXmacs system, which is part of the GNU project, was designed and written by Joris van der Hoeven. The system was inspired both by the TeX system, written by D. Knuth, and by Emacs, written by R. Stallman. Special thanks goes to them, as well as to the C.N.R.S. (the French national institute for scientific research), which employs me and authorized me to freely distribute this program. Further thanks go to the contributors below.

1.Developers of TeXmacs

• Massimiliano Gubinelli is responsable for the new Qt port and several improvements for the MacOS X platform.

• Andrey Grozin has constantly helped us with many issues: interfaces to several computer algebra systems, support for Cyrillic, tools for the manipulation of dictionaries, etc.

• David Allouche replaced the gencc preprocessor by the more standard C++ template system. He also made many other patches, bug reports and he did a lot of the administration of TeXmacs.

• François Poulain works on the LaTeX converters and character transcodings.

• Miguel Benito Delgado works on the Qt port and automatic documentation of the Scheme files.

• Henri Lesourd developed a native mode for drawing technical pictures inside TeXmacs. He also fixed a bug in the presentation mode.

• Dan Martens made the Windows port.

• David Michel provided help concerning the Qt-based Windows port and several portability issues.

• Andreas Seidl has been helping with documentation, a Cygwin package and several other things.

• Dan Grayson helped me to implement communications with computer algebra systems via pipes. He also provided some money support for TeXmacs, and he made many useful comments and suggestions.

• Fabrice Rouillier provided help on a simplified TeXmacs installer based on Cygwin.

• Nobuki Takayama invited me to Japan in order to add CJK support to TeXmacs. He also provided a lot of help with this task.

• Karim Belabas designed and developed with me the first protocol for interfacing TeXmacs with scientific computation or computer algebra systems. He also implemented the interface with the Pari system.

• Felix Breuer helped with the support of Unicode and other character encodings. He also made a donation to the project.

• Norbert Nemec contributed a series of patches.

• Josef Weidendorfer made several patches for improving the performance of TeXmacs.

• Zou Hu for his help on CJK support and the Windows port.

• Stéphane Payrard made an important bugfix for destroying windows.

• Bruno Rino has helperd us migrating from CVS to SVN.

• Fabien Chéreau has helped us with the Qt port of TeXmacs.

• Johann Dréo for the new TeXmacs icon and many other graphics.

• Bill Page and David Mentré for the support of the free version of Axiom.

• Chu-Ching Huang for writing CAS documentation and making a Knoppix CD for TeXmacs.

• Nelson Beebe helped with manifacturing a more robust configure.in.

• Kai Krüger fixed several details for the new Maple interface.

• Mickael Floc'hlay and Arnaud Ébalard for their work on searching for help.

• Gwenael Gabard for some fixes in the LaTeX to TeXmacs converter.

• Igor V. Kovalenko and Teemu Ikonen for their help on debugging TeXmacs and a few patches.

• Gareth McCaughan made several patches and comments.

• Immanuel Normann is working on an OpenMath converter.

• Jonas Lööf for a precise installation procedure on Cygwin.

• Rob Clark made a patch which improves the system time support.

• Stanislav Brabec for several patches so as to increase portability.
