We would like to thank the following people

Chris Samuel    Who wrote much of the debugging utilities for the original
"Judge Death"   Honeywell version of AberMUD

Robert Ash      Our Honeywell system manager whose advice on the original
"SYS$MAN"       Honeywell version has proved invaluble, and whos comments
		that it was not possible started this whole crazy lark

Lorry The ArchWizard
		For the idea of SETIN SETOUT

Arthur The Button
		And other mindless amusements which kept us happily insane

Life		Without which it would be a) impossible and b) pretty
		pointless

Dave Price      Our Unix Support squad, who very kindy conveniently
Tim Cairnes	overlooked the huge amounts of filestore that I have been
Gavin Harrold	using recently, to develop the game system

And all the many people who have played the game, giving it life and
meaning and whose invaluble comments have helped to improve the game
system, and who have proved beyond doubt that I can't spell suddenely
