Well, there are a lot of people to thank. XFolder is a fairly young piece of software, but still so many people have sent in remarks and supported me. You are too many to be mentioned here separately. If you don't find your name in this list, please feel addressed with this global thank you! Without all this support, XFolder wouldn't be where it is today.

XFolder is free software. Some people have paid me in naturals anyways:

- Glauco Ippolitoni, Italy, for the Win95 keyboard

- Mark Mellin, USA, for IBM VisualAge C++ 3.0

I thank the following people for actively contributing to XFolder by sending in code or doing translations:

- ARAKAWA Atsushi, Japan, for filling in the APM power-off code, Japanese NLS, and finding bugs

- Duane A. Chamblee for supplying the BOOTMGR.CMD code

- Dominik Czechowski and Artur Flinta, Poland, for Polish NLS

- Christopher Faulhammer, Germany, for translating the "XFolder Internals" pages in the documentation to German

- Tomas Hajny, Czech Republic, for Czech NLS and finding lots of little mistakes in the sources

- Henk Kelder, Netherlands, developer of a whole buch of valuable OS/2 utilities and uncrowned guru of OS/2 Extended Attributes, for code and help on WPS INI entries and EAs; check his homepage for his software

- Roger Lindmark and Simon Gr”nlund, Sweden, for Swedish NLS, finding a lot of mistakes in the documentation, and other useful hints

The following capable programmers have created software which helped me a lot:

- Dennis Bareis, Australia, for his amazing PMPRINTF package. XFolder wouldn't exist without it. Check out http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dbareis/, where you'll also find tons of other developer's stuff.

- Klaus Staedtler, Germany, for maintaining all the CONFIG.SYS information

- Andrew Pavel Zabolotny for his very valuable HTML2IPF tool, with which I created this online documentation. (I hate IPF.) He is also the developer of lxLite. (No WWW address for this.)

- The development team of GIMP for Linux the most impressive graphics package available, and to those capable people who have made the OS/2 version. This is what I've created most graphics with.

The following people deserve a special thank you for reporting me problems and incompatibilities and giving useful hints for future versions (in alphabetical order):

- Carsten Arnold, Germany, for finding bugs in the source code
