Wonderful and helpful people |
Oodles of people have contributed by spotting bugs, suggesting new features etc, or for just sending me nice emails saying how they like the site. Every time I get one of these I'm inspired into doing more work on the program. On this page I thank people who have made significant contributions. |

Serverhomepage | The server that is being used for this is run by Chris Morgan to whom great thanks are due. This link takes you to all his material on the server. It should be pointed out that this is all running on just an ordinary PC in someone's home - it is not in any sense a fully supported system - so please bear with us if for some reason it is temporarily not available, or very busy. |

On-line data resources |
Several people have given me permission to raid their websites for data. This has saved me an enormous amount of typing and hunting for data, and has allowed the site to move forwards in great leaps. |

Free Software Copyrights |
I wrote the vast majority of the code for canalplan myself, but some parts of the program (especially some complex algorithms) are based on free, but copyright, code. This page explains what I've used, the terms under which the code is used, and provides links to authors' home pages |

Software Tools |
Developing a major project like this (30,000 lines of C, 15,000 lines of script and 45,000 lines of data) needs powerful tools to edit the data, compile the program, track down bugs and keep track of changes (to allow, for example, bug-fixing and development to take place at the same time). Follow this link to find out what I used, and where to get it |
