-I would particularly like to thank Paul Stephenson, who worked with me
-at Ericsson and is now at ObjectSpace.  Paul devised the recursive
-Makefile scheme that underlies this distribution and also spent
-countless hours with me discussing object-oriented techniques for
-developing distributed application frameworks.
-
-Finally, I'd also like to thank Todd L. Montgomery <tmont@cs.wvu.edu>,
-fellow heavy metal head, for fulfilling his quest to get ACE to
-compile with GCC!
-
-In conclusion, my goal is to see ACE continue to evolve and become a
-more comprehensive, robust, and well-documented C++ class library that
-is freely available to researchers and developers.  If you have any
-improvements, suggestions, and or comments, I'd like to hear about it.
-
-        Thanks,
