Many thanks to David Hulse (dave@cs.adelaide.edu.au) for translating the original version of FunnelWeb (FunnelWeb V1) from Ada into C and getting it to work on Unix and a PC. The C code written by David (FunnelWeb V2) formed the basis of FunnelWeb V3, but was entirely rewritten during the intensive refinement and feature-injection period leading up to this release (FunnelWeb V3 is about three times the size of FunnelWeb V2). Nevertheless, without this important first translation step, I would probably not have found the motivation to develop FunnelWeb to its present state.
Thanks go to Simon Hackett (simon@internode.com.au) of Internode Systems Pty Ltd for the use of his Sun, Mac, and PC, for assistance in porting FunnelWeb to the Sun and PC, and for helpful discussions.
Thanks go to Jeremy Begg (jeremy@vsm.com.au) of VSM Software Services for the use of his VAX, and for assistance with the VMS-specific code.
Thanks to Barry Dwyer (dwyer@cs.adelaide.edu.au) and Roger Brissenden (rjb@koala.harvard.edu) for trying out FunnelWeb Version 1 in 1987 and providing valuable feedback.
Thanks to Donald Knuth for establishing the idea of literate programming in the first place.
