========================

The latest version of this META-FAQ can be found at any of the FTP sites
listed below.

AUTHOR

Zsh was originally written by Paul Falstad <pjf@cts.com>.
Zsh is now maintained by the members of the zsh workers mailing list
<zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu>.  The development is currently
coordinated by Andrew Main (Zefram) <zefram@fysh.org>.
The coordinator can be contacted at <coordinator@zsh.org>,
but matters relating to the code should generally go to the
mailing list.
