Acknowledgments
This program would never have become what it is now if it hadn't been for Barbara Canino and Marco Damaschi from MaBaSoft.
They are the authors of great programs like Application Wizard, Euro Assistant Pro, World Clock Deluxe, Quit CSM and Stopwatch CSM.
We would like to thank Barbara for:
| • | all the suggestions, advice and tips she gave us |
| • | the time she spent while testing and evaluating our efforts |
| • | letting me use the Currencies resources from Euro Assistant Pro |
| • | doing the Italian localisation of FinKit |
| • | reviewing numerous versions of the FinKit Help |
| • | beta-testing every version of FinKit |
Users have commended us for our thoroughness and attention to detail. In fact, what they praise is Barbara's work!
We would like to thank Marco for:
| • | the FinKit CSM that's used by the Classic version |
| • | allowing Barbara to spend so much time on our programs ;-) |
Our thanks also go to Thierry Bucco from iconless who was so kind to help us with the French localisation of FinKit. Merci beaucoup Thierry!
