    Many thanks go to David Sharp for his suggestions, help and beta testing
    the early versions of StrongBS. For supplying me with the ideas, without
    which StrongBS would have been a dull application and for supplying the
    error window Template file.

    Dominic Plunkett for his ideas and the suggestions of some of StrongBS
    features, and of course, the many bug reports.

    Bernard Jungen for allowing me to include his !Crunch utility application
    with StrongBS and for suggesting the "assemble code" option.

    Matt Rix for the reporting of the bugs in the VDU concatenation code and
    in *Commands parsing. Also the numbers evaluation bug...
    
    Cy Booker for reminding me of the TOP token problem he had in his
    BasCompress program.

    Mark Warne for suggesting to allow command-line parameters to be sent
    to programs Absoluted by StrongBS.
    
    Reuben Thomas for the LOCAL DATA bug report, the suggestion for stopping
    StrongBS accepting its own crunched output files directly, bug report with
    3rd party options, information on BLib which I still have to support,
    reports on the help system errors, suggestion for ExtBas assembler
    support (which I still have to do), start-up banner timings, removing of
    assembler spaces (still to be done) and many more reports which I just
    can't remember...

    Sophie Wilson for a great BASIC interpreter and warning me of the ALIGN
    problem (which I didn't take seriously at the beginning) :-) 

    Swen Ehnle for the "assemble code" bug report..
    
    Theo Markettos for the "SYS converter" option bug. Also for reporting bugs
    on the memory indirection operators..+ + +
    
    Simon E. John for the reports on the pop-up menus and the auto-free bugs.
    And lots of suggestions that have been implemented into StrongBS..
    
    Alexander Thoukydides for reporting the bug with the ALIGN directives and
    the one with matrix operations on arrays.
    
    Andrew Ayre for his many suggestions and ideas..
    
    Bernard Veasey for reporting the bug with memory indirection operators
    and the IF constructs.

    David Robinson for the many suggestions and ideas that changed StrongBS
    desktop appearance.

    Birger Harzenetter for pointing about a bug in the "evaluate expression"
    code.. and the *Commands and for suggesting the "OS_SWINumberFromString"
    option.
    
    David McCormack for pointing out a bug that has survived for over 3 years
    in the spaces_removal code...
