-by David Scherer, with help from Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley.
-Bruce Sherwood has contributed considerable time testing and suggesting
-improvements.

-Besides Guido, the main developers who have been active on IDLEfork version
-0.8.1 and later are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the Configuration GUI, the
-new configuration system, and the new About menu, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who
