$WW,1$$FG,5$$TX+CX,"Credits"$$FG$

I, $FG,2$Terry A. Davis$FG$, wrote all of TempleOS over the past 15.4 years (full-time).	It can run on some bare metal 64-bit PC's from about 2005-2010 with no layering, libraries, tools, modules or anything from other sources.	Otherwise, you run it in a virtual machine, like $FG,2$VMware$FG$, $FG,2$QEMU$FG$ or $FG,2$VirtualBox$FG$.	It is independent and stands alone.  It has no networking, so it certainly doesn't call home.  100% of the src code is including on all distro's, from the kernel to the compiler to the boot loaders!	It is public domain, not GPL.

*) $LK,"ATA Reg and Cmd Definitions",A="MN:ATA_NOP"$ are originally from Linux.  Later, I got the spec.

*) The heap algorithm, $LK,"::/Kernel/Memory/MAllocFree.CC"$, is adapted from one I saw at Ticketmaster when I worked on their VAX operating system.

*) The LZW compression algorithm, $LK,"::/Kernel/Compress.CC"$, came from a magazine and I implemented it when I worked for Ticketmaster.

*) The adaptive-step-size-Runge-Kutta algorithm, $LK,"::/Zenith/ZMathODE.CC"$, is adapted from the book, $UL,1$Numeric Recipies in C$UL,0$.

*) The mountain in some games is from $FG,4$$TX,"http://www.public-domain-photos.com",HTML="http://www.public-domain-photos.com"$$FG$.	The wolf in BlackDiamond is also from there.	I took watermarked photos and converted to 16 color.

*) The $FG,2$FAT32$FG$ file system is owned by MicroSoft.

*) A few features were inspired by $FG,2$MATLAB$FG$, such as $FG,2$ans$FG$ in expressions at the command-line.	There is a lot of $FG,2$MSDOS$FG$ , $FG,2$Windows$FG$, $FG,2$VAXTMOS$FG$ (VAX Ticketmaster O.S.) and $FG,2$Unix$FG$ inspiration, too, such as drive letters, command names, etc.

*) I included $LK,"PCIDevice List File",A="FI:::/Misc/PCIDevices.DD",HTML="http://www.pcidatabase.com/reports.php?type=tab-delimeted"$.

*) Thanks to whoever wrote this $FG,4$$TX,"CppHtml.CC",HTML="http://web.archive.org/web/20100325153025/http://home.scarlet.be/zoetrope/cpphtml.htm"$$FG$.  I'm a novice on web stuff and you helped me with html.  See $LK,"::/Demo/ToHtmlToTXTDemo/ToHtml.CC"$.

*) I looked at bootable CD boot sects, but didn't learn anything, finding it easier to make my own.

*) I think I got my original PC speaker code from $FG,2$Borland C$FG$.

*) I found PS/2 keyboard and mouse code on the net and documentation.  My code is very different.  I found VGA reg info on the net.

*) Thanks to $FG,4$$TX,"http://www.osdev.org",HTML="http://www.osdev.org"$$FG$ for a couple tips.

*) God told me to stick with 640x480 16 color and single-voice 8-bit signed MIDI-like sample for sound. 	He kept me from zombie-walking into making child windows like $FG,2$Windows$FG$.	Instead, I made one window per task with no child windows.	He also guided my progress, very obviously.

*) I got $FG,4$$TX,"Webster's Dictionary",HTML="http://www.templeos.org/files/DICTIONARY.DD"$$FG$ from $FG,4$$TX,"Project Gutenberg",HTML="http://web.archive.org/web/20110730111436/http://promo.net/pg/"$$FG$.

*) John Carmack inspired me to use "$LK,"Clamp",A="MN:Clamp"$" as a name instead of "Limit".	He inspired me to use "needle" and "haystack" as names.  He inspired me to simplify my Frames-Per-Second code.

*) Bill Gates inspired me to add comments to my $LK,"Help & Index",A="FI:::/Doc/HelpIndex.DD"$.

*) I hired an artist, Cody Rigby, for $$3,000 worth of pixel art.

*) Erik van der Karbargenbok wrote /Downloads shell scripts -- gw.

*) The random number generator is from Donald Knuth in the wikipedia entry for $TX,"Linear_congruential_generator",HTML="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator"$.
