    The book consists of two parts I: RSL Tutorial (pages 9-250), and II: RSL Reference Description (pages 251-369).
    Havelund wrote part I, while Havelund together with Anne Haxthausen wrote part II. The language presented in the book was designed during the period 1985-1991 by many people. Those that lastet to the end were the RAISE Language Group: Chris George, Peter Haff, Klaus Havelund, Anne Haxthausen, Robert Milne, Claus Bendix Nielsen, Soeren Prehn and Kim Ritter Wagner. The RAISE project was started by Dines Bjoerner.
