Berkeley Yacc owes much to the unflagging efforts of Keith Bostic.
His badgering kept me working on it long after I was ready to quit.
Berkeley Yacc is based on the excellent algorithm for computing LALR(1)
lookaheads developed by Tom Pennello and Frank DeRemer. The algorithm is
described in their almost impenetrable article in TOPLAS 4,4.
Finally, much of the credit for the latest version must go to those
who pointed out deficiencies of my earlier releases. Among the most
prolific contributors were
Benson I. Margulies
Dave Gentzel
Antoine Verheijen
Peter S. Housel
Dale Smith
Ozan Yigit
John Campbell
Bill Sommerfeld
Paul Hilfinger
Gary Bridgewater
Dave Bakken
Dan Lanciani
Richard Sargent
