Although I wrote this system by myself, this would not have been nearly as easy and almost certainly wouldn't have been finished without the help of the following people and organisations.

Esoterica Internet Portugal  
IPPT PAN Poland  
The Tardis Project  
Other Free Software Authors

Esoterica Internet Portugal

Esoterica provided me with full access to the internet in Portugal and use of their computers for free which allowed me to keep up on both this software and the Linux Access HOWTO. In particular I'd like to thank all of the members of staff who helped me very much. These people include Mario Francisco Valente (the instigator of Mini Linux) who first agreed to me using their kit, set me up to use their machines, and along with Luis Sequeira provided a sounding board for some ideas. Luis also provided the odd lift home in the evening. Also Martim de Magalhaes Pereira and Mr Mendes. See them all on

These pages are in Portugese(3) of course.

IPPT PAN Poland

Thanks go to IPPT PAN (part of PAN - Polska Akademia Naukowa) in Poland and in particular Piotr Pogorzelski who allowed me use of facilities for testing this software, provided a willing victim for having his web pages tested and made a number of suggestions which have been incorporated into the software.

The Tardis Project

Supported by the Computing Science department of the University of Edinburgh, the Tardis project provides an experimental framework in which students, former students and other related people to do their own work on fully internet connected Unix and Linux hosts.

The use of the facilities of the Tardis Project has made it much easier for me to develop software like this. In particular, the large amount of disk space the administrators have allow me to use is very useful.

Other Free Software Authors

It is through the software provided by the Free Software Foundation (such as the gcc C compiler, emacs, the file utilities), the authors of the various packages which make up a working Linux System (Linux by Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox, etc.... filesystems and support by Theodore Tytso, Stefan Tweedie etc.. Linux-Libc by HJ Lu, based on GNU glibc from the FSF.. the list is indefinite) and the authors of Perl and its modules, especially Gisle Aas and Martijn Kostler for LibWWW-Perl that I was able to set this up.

I'd particularly like to thank Tim Goodwin the author of the Perl CDB module who made and accepted a number of alterations to that, at my request. These alterations made this package simpler to write and easier to maintain.
