Actually, the term `identifier' is too +limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any +form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. + +`mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com> +and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then +maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the +Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>. Tom released +`mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in February 1991. Since then, Greg +McGary has resumed maintenance and is working on a greatly enhanced +version 3 under GPL. + +See file `COPYING' for copying conditions. +See file `INSTALL' for compilation and installation instructions. +See file `NEWS' for a list of major changes in the current release. +See file `THANKS' for a list of contributors. +See file `TODO' for planned enhancements. + +Send bug reports to <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>. A bug report is an +adequate description of the problem: your input, what you expected, +what you got, and why this is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but they only +describe a solution, from which the problem might be uneasy to infer. |
