Need clarification please. Are John Sonnenschein and Roland Mainz

I remember the day when it was considered 'impossible' to convince Sun
to introduce ksh93 to Solaris and somehow Roland Mainz managed to get
ksh93 into Solaris.
Uhm... the ksh93-integration project is a group effort... IMHO people
like April Chin, Glenn Fowler, David Korn and Mike Kupfer did much more
work than I did... I am just the one who is plugging the code together,
finds more bugs, attempts to be stubborn to get some features working
from the beginning (that's why we'll get things like a 64it version of
the shell, a default editor/input mode and some other nice goodies with
the first putback) and then runs around doing some further tweaking.
There is no magic behind this...
There is. Few people are able to show the doggedly persistance that you've
shown in pursuing the goal of ksh93 integration. Don't put your light too
low, it wouldn't have happened without you. Stubbornness, if put to good
use, is a virtue that few people have.
