\begin{abstract}

A simple wait-free construction for 1-writer multireader multivalued atomic
  variable from multireader regular variables is presented in this paper. A key
  point of the construction is the use of an elegant forwarding technique to
  overcome the new-old inversion property inherent in regular variables. \par
  Another construction, using a different forwarding technique, is also given.
  This technique is a refinement of one proposed in the literature. \par Formal
  correctness proofs for both the constructions are short and easy to follow.
