9: SPMS was originally developed in response to a need for managing a
10: suite of programs for modeling the dynamic behavior of the piping in
11: nuclear power stations in the event of sudden rupture. The project,
12: involving 10 programmers, over 2000 files, and upwards of 100,000 lines
13: of Fortran code, was directed by Graham H. Powell, Professor of Civil
14: Engineering at U.C. Berkeley. His encouragement, support, and
15: criticism has been invaluable.

17: The Computer Systems Research Group, directed by Professor R. S. Fabry,
18: provided the resources for the development of the second and third
19: versions of SPMS. David Mosher offered valuable suggestions about the
20: system and this report. Stuart Feldman also provided helpful comments.

22: John Foderero exercised SPMS on the Franz Lisp System and Jim Kleckner
23: did the same for VLSI CAD software. Mike O'Dell installed the system in
24: Italy. Their help in debugging SPMS is much appreciated.

26: Edward Wang modified
27: .I lint
28: so that it could generate lint libraries. His work enabled SPMS to
29: check complete software packages for consistency.
