I would particularly like to thank Paul Stephenson, who worked with me
at Ericsson.  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,

                Douglas C. Schmidt
