- Lars Erdmann, Germany: MB3-click-to-MB1-double-click (2000)
- Chris Hanson, MIT, USA: Extended Attributes handling (1995) (EALIB.ZIP at Hobbes)
- Henk Kelder, Netherlands: OS2.INI/OS2SYS.INI WPS entries and WPS EAs handling (1998)
- Gilles Kohl: C string handling routines (1992)
- Ekkehard Kraemer, Germany: hard drive detection found at

- Martin Lafaix, France: "Resources" settings page implementation
- Christian Langanke, Germany, who supplied lots of bits and pieces, plus the
text message file (TMF) code.

and
debug.c
)
- Kai Uwe Rommel, Germany: DosQProcStatus handling code (1992-94) (PROC.ZIP at Hobbes)
- Roman Stangl, Austria: rebooting OS/2, taken from
EDM/2 vol. 5, issue 9;

and the &xwp; hook has been taken from Program Commander/2
- Mark Stern, Belgium: C string handling routines (1993)
- Uri J. Stern, USA (?): killing the tasklist window
(http://zebra.asta.fh-weingarten.de/os2/Snippets/Howt8881.HTML)
plus parts of the code samples from IBM's OS/2 Warp 3 Developer's Toolkit.
If &xwp; should contain any more bugs, they're probably from there. ;-)
&xwp; also uses parts of the SFL package,

If anybody thinks that I have forgotten him or her, this is not intentional.
Drop me a note and I'll add you to this page.
The information about the CONFIG.SYS settings is mostly based on the
OS/2 command reference and on the
descriptions in the CNFGINFO package available at Hobbes.
Most of the information about the WPS classes is also taken from the
OS/2 Warp 3 Developer's Toolkit, some of it I've found out myself.
