I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history. fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach. Add authors section.
