General Credits
---------------

These credits are from both Indrek Mandre and Richard Dawe.

- Dan M. Hedlund        <hedl0036@tc.umn.edu>
                        http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/8523/

  His Wsock library is the base of this library.

- Alfons Hoogervorst    <alfons@hoogervorst.demon.nl>
                        http://www.hoogervorst.demon.nl/

  His dsock library helped to get select() and blocking recv() calls work. He
  also contributed some information on how to obtain Windows machine and DNS
  IP addresses.

- The Regdos Group      <alfons@hoogervorst.demon.nl>
                        http://www.hoogervorst.demon.nl/

  They contributed the registry-access code that is used to automatically find
  out some IP settings. Alfons is the maintainer.

Indrek's Credits
----------------

- Linus Torvalds

  Linux is the best OS - much of the code is from it.

- Richard Dawe          <rd5718@bristol.ac.uk>
                        http://irix.bris.ac.uk/~rd5718/

  This man made 99% of the documentation of this library. I can't describe him
  in words, magnificent guy! You'll get far, Rich. [Rich: Please, you're making
  me blush! =) ]

- Heiko Jappe           <hej@gis.de>

  He has a very nice habit of finding all the nastiest bugs and
  reporting them. There would be some very bad "features" in the library
  without him.

- Wojtek Galazka        <wgalazka@chem.uw.edu.pl>

  He pointed out some bugs and has some great ideas. A man with an open mind.

Rich's Credits
--------------

- Indrek Mandre         <indrek@warp.edu.ee>
                        http://www.pld.ttu.ee/~indrek/

  Thanks to Indrek for writing the library in the first place, letting me
  contribute to it, and then, gulp, trusting me to look after it. This man has
  a lot faith and trust!

- Petr Frisch

  Thanks to Petr for finding that libsocket's non-blocking sockets didn't work
  properly, and for informing me how they should work.

- Vlad Pambucol

  Thanks to Vlad for noticing that his data was being mangled by libsocket,
  which lead to me finding an absolutely huge bug!

- Thanks to everyone else who has shown interest in libsocket, and has
  mailed me to say they are using it. Please continue to do this!

Indrek's Discredits
-------------------

- Bill

  The worst OS I've ever seen, it's slow, it crashes all the time and it
  looks ugly. [Rich: Well, it only crashes for me when I use Microsoft
  applications!]

Rich's Discredits
-----------------

- Netscape Composer

  The HTML produced by this is dire! It can't handle lists-of-lists. It
  almost makes me want to use Microsoft FrontPage! On the plus side,
  Netscape Navigator is still a top browser.
