MAIN development was and still is inspired via communications with
MAIN users and other crystallographers all over the world. I wish to
thank all MAIN fans and other users who helped me to decide what to
do. However, there are a few persons and groups, for who I
feel that explicit acknowledgments are mandatory.
I am grateful to all members of Robert Huber's group in
Martinsried, who were and are still the major group confronted with
the fresh outcoming MAIN releases and bugs therein. As first, without
doubt the most enthusiastic MAIN fan, Hans Brandstetter. In particular
I wish to mention Peter Hof, Lars Prade, Tarmo Plom, Manuel Than and
Tim Mather (the friendly spirit to the greetings page.)
Similarly, my coworkers in Ljubljana are acknowledged too. They have
to deal with fatal bugs, sometimes introduced on a daily basis. Gregor
Guncar, in particular, deserves his name to be mentioned.
Jan Loewe compiled the first Mac (OSX) version of MAIN and on
going suggestions on program development since his arrival to
Cambridge.
Lynn Ten Eyck is gratefully acknowledged for providing his FFT routines.
Saulius Grazulis is acknowledged for creating the first Perl
script generating the "html" version of MAIN
"Keyword Index".
Sasha Urzhumtsev and his crew from Nancy (Pavel Afonine, Andrej
Fokine) are acknowledged for their help with the bulk solvent
correction procedure . and incorporation of their target
functions based on maximum likelihood for
refinement and map calculations into MAIN in November 2002.
