Strong Brain^℠

Acknowledgments and Thanks

The development of Strong Brain has depended on a great many open source software systems and programs, as well as several significant proprietary systems. We attempt to list here all of these programs and offer our thanks for them. Any omissions are inadvertent, and authors who feel that they should be acknowledged should contact Applied Logic Systems. Since Version 2 was a massive rewrite and port of Version 1, we split the list into two parts.
