1.4 Acknowledgements

This manual was based on the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, version 2.4, written by Robert Krawitz, Bil Lewis, Dan LaLiberte, Richard M. Stallman and Chris Welty, the volunteers of the GNU manual group, in an effort extending over several years. Robert J. Chassell helped to review and edit the manual, with the support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA Order 6082, arranged by Warren A. Hunt, Jr. of Computational Logic, Inc.

Ben Wing adapted this manual for XEmacs 19.14 and 20.0, and earlier for Lucid Emacs 19.10, XEmacs 19.12, and XEmacs 19.13. He is the sole author of many of the manual sections, in particular the XEmacs-specific sections: events, faces, extents, glyphs, specifiers, toolbar, menubars, scrollbars, dialog boxes, devices, consoles, hash tables, range tables, char tables, databases, and others. The section on annotations was originally written by Chuck Thompson. Corrections to v3.1 and later were done by Martin Buchholz, Steve Baur, and Hrvoje Niksic.
