People who I can't thank enough

The following people have been invaluable in creating and improving Quoll Writer.

My long suffering wife who encourages me and puts me up with far too much.
Matt Bin - whose help and confidence in Quoll Writer as a product has been invaluable.
Krzysztof Buslowicz - who has provided an incalculable amount of help and support in numerous areas of Quoll Writer, not least producing a full Polish translation of the User Interface.
