I'd like to thank the following people who had helped me to develop the program:
- The members of Chollian PDA SIG.
Especially, WOOKJIN, FILIIDEI and PUNGMUL.
- JungYoon Park, Alan Hecht - who sent me icons of HappyDays.
- Wolfgang Fahl - Author of
Birthdate for Pilot. I was inspired by the idea to create
a birthdate tracking program from it.
- Mitch Blevins - Creator of
Diddlebug.
And he has maintained the link
to the GPL programs for
the Palm which was helpful to me.
- Chris Faherty - Creator of
Hot date program which I referred to.
- Bevan Ting - who provided
helpful comments and corrected many grammatical errors
in HappyDays page. But if there remain any errors,
it's due to my carelessness.
- And the many people who gave bug reports or suggestions for
improvement.
