The following people have contributed to 'sysstat' in one way or another:

	First I would like to thank Michael <michael@roka.net>: He is the
	very first person to have given me feedback about sysstat, and to
	point out to me that certain fields in /proc/stat didn't have the
	meaning I thought they had. This was in 1999!

	Many thanks to the translators involved in sysstat:

	  * Birko Bergt <birko.bergt@gmx.de> for his translation into German,
	  * Fernando Félix Redondo <fernando.felix@rediris.es> for his
	    translation into Spanish (now maintained by Muralito
	    <muralito@montevideo.com.uy>),
	  * Frederic L. W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net> for the
	    Portuguese translation.
	  * Gert Brits <gbrits@techconcepts.co.za> for the translation
	    into Afrikaans.
	  * Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk <roy@karlsbakk.net> for the Norwegian
	    translation.
	  * Stefano Barni <barninga@interfree.it> for the translation
	    into Italian.
	  * Dennis Selsky <selsky@siberia.net> for the Russian translation.

	Carl-Christian Weber <ccweber@itz-koeln.de> helped me to make sar
	work on SMP machines.

	Stefan Majer <smajer@advance-bank.de> provided me with a patch to
	rotate daily system activity files.

	Klaus Franken <klaus.franken@fth2.siemens.de> created the RPM
	packages. He also included a short initialization script for sar
	to start it as a daemon on boot.

	Mario Vanoni <vanonim@dial.eunet.ch> is the originator of the 2.x
	to 3.x version transition. Thanks to his numerous advice and his
	experience on UN*X systems, he helped me to make what I think
	today is a true system monitoring program.

	Jason (Jay) R. Fink <jay_rf@exis.net> set up and maintained the
	first web site for sysstat.

	Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com> sent me the RedHat patch to
	enable good packaging.

	David Doubrava <linux_monitor@volny.cz> created the isag
	command (Interactive System Activity Graph).

	Rik van Riel <riel@conectiva.com.br> explained me the meaning
	of several fields that were added in Linux kernel 2.4
	/proc/meminfo file.

	Hubert Nueckel <hubert.nueckel@oracle.com> sent me a patch to
	fix CPU utilization displayed by sar, iostat and mpstat commands
	on IA64 machines.

	Victor Hazlewood <victor@sdsc.edu> sent me a patch to implement
	a database friendly option for sar (option -H).

	Christopher Blizzard <blizzard@redhat.com> added the ability to
	display kB/s transfers to devices in iostat reporting when
	option -x is used.

	John Caruso <caruso@paradiso.umuc.edu> wrote the sargon script
	shell as a replacement for sa1/sa2 files.

	Wilhelm Nuesser <wilhelm.nuesser@sap.com> sent me a patch to
	fix average wait times and service times displayed by iostat -x.
