This is the credits file from Dan's original lasker release. For more credits please see http://chess.samba.org/ and the CVS logs Andrew Tridgell chess@tridgell.net --------------------- A brief credits file. The first part are people I'd like to thank, and the second part are messages that have to be placed here for legal reasons. I would like to thank Michael Moore for starting the chess server many moons ago. I don't know where he is today, but his legacy is all of these chess servers (chessd, FICS, ICC, chess.net) Thanks to Richard Nash. Mr. Nash wrote most of my original code, and without him who knows where the state of Internet Chess would be. I'd also like to thank the people who contributed to the ICS code that Nash authored. This includes all developers from the years that Nash's code has been around. I'll specifically thank the FICS contributors. Without FICS, this project wouldn't exist today. Much thanks to David Flynn (DAV). He still doesn't support chessd, but perhaps one day he will. Poul-Henning Kamp and Mark Murray. Their code developed for FreeBSD was used in the password handling routines in chessd. I owe you a beer, phk. And of the chessd project: Chaz Randles - Emotional support, countless design discussions, consulting. Hristo Doichev - Letting me know that I was doing the right thing with going forward with chessd. Various programming work. Gian-Carlo Pascutto - Being with me the entire way, both mentally and with help with testing and programming. Vance Ray - Letting me know how I could use a real database server for managing the players, games, etc. This is unimplemented, but I'm looking into writing it myself (or, preferred) having someone implement this. Brent D. Rockwood - Contributing the chessd logo. He also may takeover as the webmaster in the future :) (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Thanks to everyone who help made chessd possible! -Dan Papasian bugg@bugg.strangled.net And, for legal reasons: Copyright (C) 1991-2, RSA Data Security, Inc.
