           Credits

   dataComet is derived from Comet, "The Cornell Macintosh Terminal Emulator," which was originally developed by Kevin Eric Saunders (a/k/a bonze blayk!), with contributions by John Lynn and Peter Hoyt, for Cornell Information Technologies under the general direction of Dick Cogger, Mark Oros, and Karen Fromkes (successively).

   Thanks are due to Doug Hornig for the basic TextEdit code; to Per Lindbergh for vttest; and to Erny Tontlinger for the excellent Terminal 2.2 code.  Thanks also to loyal Comet beta testers at Cornell; there are too many to list, but special thanks are due to Steve Worona, Karen Fromkes, Sanjay Hiranandani, Gail Honness, and Larry Chace ("May the sPam be with you!").

       Happy Comet Trails!

           "Felicity is everywhere... 
                         yet she's not a thing to be lightly grasped;
             For here you'd hold, not the name of a rose, 
                         but a fragile-thorny flower-asp..."
