libgcc2 sources.
Greetings:
o Plasma: freebasic.net domain register and since mar/2005 hosts the main site
too, many thanks to him.
o Nexinarus: Organized the documentation (W.I.P.), found bugs and saved a bunch
of kangaroos in the middle time.
o VonGodric: author of the first FreeBASIC IDE: FBIDE (download it here:
http://www.hot.ee/fbide/ ).
o Rel: Best beta tester ever, found loads of bugs.
o Wildcard: Created the biggest FB forum and helped making FB known even before
it was released.
o Blitz: The first to see the compiler when it was just a toy (delete the
sources!). Helped pointing me out the right paths to follow in order to
generate better code. Helped finding bugs and wrote the first real apps.
o Marzec: Loads of tests, besides giving many ideas.
o Nek, na_th_an, Sj Zero, Z!re: Some serious beta testing - meaning: loads of
bugs found.
o People at Qbasicnews (too many to list, thanks all!) for all the support and
feedback.
o You, for giving it a try - you won't regret.. er.
