ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The routines currently distributed as HDS derive from two original sources. The first is the initial implementation written by Dave Pearce and Anton Walter at RAL for the VAX/VMS operating system (initially using the BLISS language), which was subsequently converted into C by Mike Lawden (RAL) and William Lupton (RGO and AAO). The second source is a collection of higher-level routines mostly written at University College London in Fortran 77 by Sid Wright and Jack Giddings. William Lupton subsequently performed some of the initial work aimed at making HDS more portable.

Since then, HDS has undergone considerable internal change, including substantial re-coding to produce a fully portable system based on the POSIX operating system interface. It is currently supported by Rodney Warren-Smith at RAL.
