Markus Gebhard, whose application JavE inspired me to revisit the text/image themes of Icontext (1999).

Markus's algorithm must be more elegant, but I have resisted the temptation to analyze JavE too closely.

Thanks also to the countless engineers and programmers who have built the Internet's infrastructure languages and protocols. Support open source software and open protocol standards so that this foundation can have computer science as its essence rather than flashy marketing!
