Acknowledgements

Without the efforts of a great many people, Solitaire Till Dawn would be a much inferior product, and might not even exist. We would like to acknowledge and thank:

Our legion of beta testers. Since before the release of version 1.0 back in 1991, our beta testers have been invaluable. These brave and intrepid souls have not only tirelessly tested each release and relentlessly tracked down bugs and failures, but have also suggested a great many of the program’s best features. We can’t list all the testers because over the years there have been more than a hundred, but they know who they are and we are immensely grateful to them.

John Norstad and Northwestern University for making their resource fork sanity-checking code from Disinfectant publicly available. Thank you for that, John, and for Disinfectant itself, and for NewsWatcher, and the list goes on...
