18. Credits

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...
