The design of Atlas-C++ is based partially on a prototype version created by John Barrett <jbarrett@box100.com>. Thanks also go to: Alistair Riddoch <ajr@ecs.soton.ac.uk> for his help wrangling with C++ socket libraries, giving constant feedback and generally being cool. Aloril <aloril@iki.fi> for his constant support in answering never-ending Atlas questions. You're The Man. All the others who have provided help and feedback during this library's development, including much thanks to our fearless (and patient) leader Bryce Harrington <bryce@neptune.net>.
