My special thanks to Richard M. Stallman <rms@gnu.org> and Francois
Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>!  They gave me a lot of valueable
hints and suggestions to Gcal!

Lots of thanks to Kai Uwe Rommel <rommel@ars.de>, who did the major
part of adapting Gcal to OS/2 systems.

Special thanks to the Info-ZIP group
(<http://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/Info-ZIP/>), which merely
granted me the permission to use their `version_local()'
function of `zip-2.1' in a modified way for Gcal
(the `print_compiler_info()' function is based on
copyrighted code by the Info-ZIP group).

Also special thanks to Helmer Aslaksen <mathelmr@math.nus.edu.sg> for
his well written `The Mathematics of the Chinese Calendar' paper that
is published via <http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/>, and his helpful
comments and discussion about the Chinese and Japanese calendars.

Also thanks to Paul Schlyter for his fine `How to compute planetary
positions' and `How to compute rise/set times and altitude above
horizon' texts published via <http://welcome.to/pausch> and
<http://hotel04.ausys.se/pausch>.

Thanks to Keith Burnett who publishes a lot of diverse --good quality--
astronomical sources and links at <http://www.xylem.demon.co.uk/kepler>.

And lots of thanks to Steven L. Moshier <moshier@mediaone.net> for his
great `aa.arc' ephemeris calculation software, which inspired me to
implement astronomical functions into Gcal to calculate the various data
and times of Sun and Moon.
