If Tim is still around he should PR a change back; I'd not want my name shortened to "TP".

  He should make a PR to change it back to the correct spelling of his name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Paterson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Paterson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tim Paterson (born 1 June 1956) is an American computer programmer, best known for creating 86-DOS, an operating system for the Intel 8086. This system emulated the application programming interface (API) of CP/M, which was created by Gary Kildall. 86-DOS later formed the basis of MS-DOS, the most widely used personal computer operating system in the 1980s.
