We thought we'd extend some thanks to people who probably deserve it.
(In no particular order except some vague concepts of chronology that I
have dredged from the depths of my mind - Kev)

- The inventor of the floppy disk.
  For making it necessary for me (Kev) to index all my disks over many many
  years. This quest usually resulted in me (re)writing some B+Tree or
  equivalent code.
- The inventor of the PhD.
  For giving some of us (Daz in particular) a need to collate data in a
  decent fashion and hence need a database.
- The author of MetalBase (Richid Jernigan).
  For providing us with a program to try and replace and improve on
  performance wise.
- Tym MacKenzie and GLen Pringle (first name spelling explanations
           available in long winded form on request)
  For puting up with our arguments over the class heirarchies and giving up
  their fair share of the whiteboard in theOffice(tm). And for providing
  advice when they did.
- Jamie Scuglia.
  Who took the marks entry system Daz wrote for our department using
  DiamondBase and extended it to use DB completely. Many of the newer
  features and fixes are through Jamie's suggestions and investigations.
- Chut Yee.
  Who has been using DiamondBase here in our department as well and has
  always been willing to move his work to a new architecture that proves to
  be more brain damaged than the previous one and find us lots of little
  problems. Many features in DB are also due to his extensive use of the
  product.
- Jeff Kopmanis, original author and maintainer of the Linux Software Map.
  For using DiamondBase as his database and provbiding us with lots of
  suggestions, bug reports and general encouragement and support.
- Michael Walker.
  For doing the work on the Macintosh port.
- Mark R. Rinfret, Erick Otto, Bart De Rauw, Ming-Ching Tiew, Jeff Garzik
      in particular, and in general all people who have played with
      and tested DiamondBase, find bugs, picked holes in the doco (for
      there are many), suggested enhancements and been all round very
      helpful people.
