Acknowledgements
****************

We thank all the people who helped me while writing Skribe. My first
though goes to Frederic Boussinot who's the first pre-alpha-tester of
Skribe always volunteering for new testing new features ;-) I then
thanks all the people that send me fixes, suggestions and
improvements, that is, all the people that appear in the ChangeLog
file. Many thanks to all of you.
