Hi

I have been adding a =C2=AB history =C2=BB chapter to my documentation, =
and I have some questions about it.

1) Why there isn=E2=80=99t 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.=20

Maybe you could help me a bit Alan?=20

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=
