+\index[general]{Thanks }
+I thank everyone who has helped this project. Unfortunately, I cannot
+thank everyone (bad memory). However, the AUTHORS file in the main source
+code directory should include the names of all persons who have contributed
+to the Bacula project. Just the same, I would like to include thanks below
+to special contributors as well as to the major contributors to the current
+release.
+
+Thanks to Richard Stallman for starting the Free Software movement and for
+bringing us gcc and all the other GNU tools as well as the GPL license.
+
+Thanks to Linus Torvalds for bringing us Linux.
+
+Thanks to all the Free Software programmers. Without being able to peek at
+your code, and in some cases, take parts of it, this project would have been
+much more difficult.
+
+Thanks to John Walker for suggesting this project, giving it a name,
+contributing software he has written, and for his programming efforts on
+Bacula as well as having acted as a constant sounding board and source of
+ideas.
+
+Thanks to the apcupsd project where I started my Free Software efforts, and
+from which I was able to borrow some ideas and code that I had written.
+
+Special thanks to D. Scott Barninger for writing the bacula RPM spec file,
+building all the RPM files and loading them onto Source Forge. This has been a
+tremendous help.
+
+Many thanks to Karl Cunningham for converting the manual from html format to
+LaTeX. It was a major effort flawlessly done that will benefit the Bacula
+users for many years to come. Thanks Karl.
+
+Thanks to Dan Langille for the {\bf incredible} amount of testing he did on
+FreeBSD. His perseverance is truly remarkable. Thanks also for the many
+contributions he has made to improve Bacula (pthreads patch for FreeBSD,
+improved start/stop script and addition of Bacula userid and group, stunnel,
+...), his continuing support of Bacula users. He also wrote the PostgreSQL
+driver for Bacula and has been a big help in correcting the SQL.
+
+Thanks to multiple other Bacula Packagers who make and release packages for
+different platforms for Bacula.
+
+Thanks to Christopher Hull for developing the native Win32 Bacula emulation
+code and for contributing it to the Bacula project.
+
+Thanks to Robert Nelson for bringing our Win32 implementation up to par
+with all the same features that exist in the Unix/Linux versions. In
+addition, he has ported the Director and Storage daemon to Win32!
+
+Thanks to Thorsten Engel for his excellent knowledge of Win32 systems, and
+for making the Win32 File daemon Unicode compatible, as well as making
+the Win32 File daemon interface to Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy (VSS).
+These two are big pluses for Bacula!
+
+Thanks to Landon Fuller for writing both the communications and the
+data encryption code for Bacula.
+
+Thanks to Arno Lehmann for his excellent and infatigable help and advice
+to users.
+
+Thanks to all the Bacula users, especially those of you who have contributed
+ideas, bug reports, patches, and new features.
+
+Bacula can be enabled with data encryption and/or communications
+encryption. If this is the case, you will be including OpenSSL code that
+that contains cryptographic software written by Eric Young
+(eay@cryptsoft.com) and also software written by Tim Hudson
+(tjh@cryptsoft.com).
+
+The Bat (Bacula Administration Tool) graphs are based in part on the work
+of the Qwt project (http://qwt.sf.net).
+
+The original variable expansion code used in the LabelFormat comes from the
+Open Source Software Project (www.ossp.org). It has been adapted and extended
+for use in Bacula. This code is now deprecated.
+
+There have been numerous people over the years who have contributed ideas,
+code, and help to the Bacula project. The file AUTHORS in the main source
+release file contains a list of contributors. For all those who I have
+left out, please send me a reminder, and in any case, thanks for your
+contribution.
+
+Thanks to the Free Software Foundation Europe e.V. for assuming the
+responsibilities of protecting the Bacula copyright.
