I replied to this before, but I think from the wrong address (ie not
the one I'm subscribed from) and it didn't make it to the list.  So
better late than never:

IIRC it was mostly Paul Bond, but if you look in the BBC's MOS ROM, in
the three pages normally hidden by the memory-mapped hardware, you'll
find several other credits, some of whom did other parts of the
software.

If you look in some of the really early versions, you'll find bits of
edit history with Paul's initials.
