Acknowledgments:
----------------
This list was compiled using questions and answers posed to
comp.windows.x.motif and motif-talk. Some information was excerpted from the
comp.windows.x FAQ.  To all who contributed one way or the other, thanks! We
try to give individual references, but you may recognize something uncredited
as your contribution. If we've mangled the words (or, heaven forbid, the code)
too much, let the current maintainer know.

NOTE: If you are a two-or-more-time contributor to this FAQ and you have a WWW
personal home page which you'd like to have listed, see the subject: "Which X
and Motif developers have their own home page URLs?"

Jan Newmarch maintained this FAQ for a long time and has really helped a great
many of us by providing this valuable service.  He deserves a big round of
applause for his efforts.  I use this resource all the time and it has saved
me countless hours with manuals and source code trying to relearn what others
have already discovered.  Jan`s efforts are gratefully acknowledged here.

Likewise, Brian Dealy of SAIC did an admirable job taking over the Motif FAQ
from Jan. A considerable amount of information was added during his tenure and
we greatly appreciate Brian's work on the FAQ, as well as his efforts in
maintaining the comp.windows.x.motif newsgroup reflector, for the good of all
Motif-dom.

And thanks to Ken Sall for maintaining the FAQ for the last 3 years. During
Ken's tenure the FAQ more than doubled in size. Ken was one of the first FAQ
maintainers to change all ftp references to URLs and to incorporate http URLs
thoroughout the FAQ. This effort motivated him to create the Motif on the
World Wide Web site (http://www.cen.com/mw3/) which contains hundreds of Motif
links.
