So, Who wrote George anyway?

Most George chapters contain a call to the SEG macro that identifies the "owner" of the chapter.

I assume the "owner" is either the programmer of the chapter, or the person responsible for modifications to the chapter.

So, who are these people? The following table gives the names and numbers of chapter for each name from the version of George available on the net, 8.67.

(There are 879 source files in 8.67).

Note that the total (582) doesn't add up to 879 because some small number of chapters show two owners and many segments are owned by "groups" rather than individuals.

In some cases people have appeared to spell their names differently at different times, I've attempted to merge them, it is possible that I've merged seperate people. (For example "BIDGOOD", "J.D. BIDGOOD" and "JUDY BIDGOOD")

6 of the 74 people have female names, 39 male names and 29 are only known by their initials.
