  modifications.



  16.  Acknowledgements

  This document would not have happened without the help of many 
people.
  George Greenwade was instrumental in establishing the original 
mailing
  list way back in the early '90's (when I first became involved).
  Marcus Speh started one of the early ftp sites and was an active
  participant.  Among them are, Rob Beezer, Joachim Schrod, Piet van
  Oostrum, Ross N. Williams, Nelson H. F. Beebe, and Andrew Johnson.  
We
  wouldn't have literate programming if it wasn't for Donald Knuth and
  TeX.  Certainly, we wouldn't be where we are without the tool
  developers (all credited in their entries above).
  Cesar Bellardini cballard@santafe.com.ar deserves thanks for
  translating the FAQ into Spanish.

  A special thanks to Aliza R. Panitz for the text describing how to
  execute an anonymous ftp for files of interest.

  Any omissions from these acknowledgements should be considered an
  accident on my part.  Furthermore, participants in the
  comp.programming.literate newsgroup all contributed in various
  fashions.  Thank all of you.



  17.  End notes

  This document remains in a state of evolution (although I'm a strict
  creationist! ).  I'm working on the SGML version to improve
  formatting of the resulting documents.  I'm also reorganizing the 
FAQ
  to improve its usability.  Comments are solicited for such
  improvements.  Omission of a particular tool should not be 
considered
  a snub in any sense--simply an error or oversight on my part.
