Raw Normal View History

A very special thanks is due to the following people and groups.
Note: as hard as we've tried, it is impossible to perfectly maintain
this file. If you are aware of someone who you think should be
included here, PLEASE let me know. Projects like this are made
possible only by the help and hard work of others. I want to properly
credit everyone who has contributed to this project.
Raul Alonzo <amil@las.es>
Mr. Alonzo is the author of Ssystem and provided his kind permission
for using the moon texture. I also used parts of his code as a template
when adding the texture. Ssystem Homepage can be found at:

Gene Buckle <geneb@nwlink.com>
Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++
