Internet Publishing Handbook - Copyright © 1995 by Mike Franks
I'd like to thank Richard Chabran, Phil McAbee, and John Powell for their constant support and encouragement. In addition, I wouldn't have been able to write this book if it wasn't for the advice, assistance, and interesting environment created by my coworkers at UCLA's Social Sciences Computing: G.J. Chen, Mary Johnson, Carlos Tobar, Lily Sun, Eleanor Chan, Michael Hwa, Julie Chen, Wendy Wright, and our past and present directors, Barry Gerber, Professor William Mason, and Tom Phelan. I'd also like to thank Gary Bolles for indirectly getting me started on this project. And, of course, I'd like to thank my parents whose lifelong support and sense of humor made this all possible.
Although any errorz are mine, there would have been a great many more without the help of many people. I'd like to thank Dave Brooks, William Zhang, Michelle Lew, Andy Pho, Karie Masterson, Wayne Miller, George Bing, Gloria Werner, Don Worth, Pieter Lechner, Kent Wada, and Kelly Stack for their assistance and advice. I'd also like to thank all the patient souls who allowed me to interview them by phone, via e-mail, or at crowded conferences. Clifford Lynch contributed greatly to my understanding of Z39.50. Claire Horne, my editor, was always a pleasure to work with. And copy editor Polly Kummel added a great deal of professionalism to my writing and toned down my excesses. I'd also like to thank the production crew: Sarah Weaver, Erin Sweeney, John Webber, and Greg Johnson. Finally, I'd like to thank all those on the Internet who made it possible to learn so much online.
