The SATIS collection cosists in a whole lot of little tips and tricks that
would never have occurred to a single person. It wouldn't have been achieved
without all the minor and major helpers to whom I want to express my
appreciation here.

First of all I want to give prominence to Mr. Michel Drescher, Paulusplatz 10,
33602 Bielefeld, who as my assistant has attended on the whole coming into
being of the collection with his competence as a student of informatics and
who has supported me very much.

I want to thank Mrs. De Leuw in Brussels who has made possible the translation
into English from the funds of the HELIOS programme of the EU, and Ulrike
Drescher who  has carried out this translation with carefulness and patience.

I want to thank Nancy Wauquaire, University of Mons (Belgium), for the
translation (of the 1.3 version) into French at the university of Mons
(Belgium) within the scope of a thesis. The recent version will also be
translated into French.

I can't enumerate all the "minor" helpers. Representative for others I mention
a number of names:
Eike Peter Falk, Dr. Gnther Gerull, Jan Hellbusch, Herr Ighisan, Ingo Lembke,
Helmut Mynarek, Markus Reinsch, Dr. Dieter Schll, Dr. Gerhard Weber, Ulrich
Zeun, Roland Zier, and, last not least my wife Ilse, who didn't loose patience
and overview all the time.

I hope the collection will in future be further supported by its readers and
users and other helpers, perhaps it will even be sponsored from public funds.
