History of gas

[jacob navia]

Hi

I have been adding a « history » chapter to my documentation, and I have some questions about it.

1) Why there isn’t any AUTHORS file?
2) The earliest CONTRIBUTORS file that I found was binutils 2.19. (1988). Is there any earlier version?
3) What about later versions?
4) At the end of the CONTRIBUTORS file I found the name of A. Modra, and I know that he is still active in this endeavor. 

Maybe you could help me a bit Alan? 

Some people you want to name that are absent from the CONTRIBUTORS (1988) file?
Pointers to later AUTHORS file?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jacob
