+
+1) The font, $LK,"::/Kernel/Font8x8.CPP"$, is taken from $FG,4$$TX,"FreeDOS",HTML="http://www.freedos.org"$$FG$.  It's public domain.
+
+2) $LK,"ATA Reg and Cmd Definitions",A="MN:ATA_NOP"$ are originally from Linux.  Later, I got the spec.
+
+3) The heap algorithm, $LK,"::/Kernel/MemB.CPP"$, is adapted from one I saw at Ticketmaster when I worked on their VAX operating system.
+
+4) The LZW compression algorithm, $LK,"::/Kernel/Compress.CPP"$, came from a magazine and I implemented it when I worked for Ticketmaster.
+
+5) The adaptive-step-size-Runge-Kutta algorithm, $LK,"::/Adam/AMathODE.CPP"$, is adapted from the book, $UL,1$Numeric Recipies in C$UL,0$.
+
+6) The random number generator is from the book, $UL,1$Numeric Recipies in C$UL,0$.
+
+7) The mountain, palm trees, sheep and goats in AfterEgypt are 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.
+
+8) The $FG,2$FAT32$FG$ file system is owned by MicroSoft.
+
+9) 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.
+
+10) I included $LK,"PCIDevice Lst File",A="FI:::/Misc/PCIDevices.TXT",HTML="http://www.pcidatabase.com/reports.php?type=tab-delimeted"$.
+
+11) Thanks to whoever wrote this $FG,4$$TX,"CppHtml.CPP.Z",HTML="http://web.archive.org/web/20100325153025/http://home.scarlet.be/zoetrope/cpphtml.htm"$$FG$.  I'm a novice on web stuff and you helped me with html.  See $LK,"ToHtml",A="FI:::/Adam/Utils/ToHtml.CPP"$.
+
+12) I used $FG,4$$TX,"MagicISO",HTML="http://www.magiciso.com"$$FG$ to burn test CD's to help me understand the ISO9660 file system format.  I mostly used the $FG,4$$TX,"ISO9660",HTML="http://users.telenet.be/it3.consultants.bvba/handouts/ISO9960.html"$$FG$ spec.
+
+13) I looked at bootable CD boot sects, but didn't learn anything, finding it easier to make my own.
+
+14) I think I got my original PC speaker code from $FG,2$Borland C$FG$.
+
+15) 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.
+
+16) Thanks to $FG,4$$TX,"http://www.osdev.org",HTML="http://www.osdev.org"$$FG$ for a couple tips.
+
+17) God told me to stick with 640x480 16 color,  a single audio voice and 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.
+
+18) I got $FG,4$$TX,"Webster's Dictionary",HTML="http://www.templeos.org/files/DICTIONARY.TXT"$$FG$ and $FG,4$$TX,"The King James Bible",HTML="http://www.templeos.org/files/BIBLE.TXT"$$FG$ from $FG,4$$TX,"Project Gutenberg",HTML="http://web.archive.org/web/20110730111436/http://promo.net/pg/"$$FG$.
+
+19) John Carmack inspired me to use "$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.
+
+20) Bill Gates inspired me to add comments to my $LK,"Help & Index",A="FI:::/Doc/HelpIndex.TXT"$.
+
+In short, I wrote every one of the $TX,"120,532",D="DD_TEMPLEOS_LOC"$ lines myself, no $FG,2$GPL$FG$ code, no linkage or dependence on other code.  Anyone who says otherwise is being an ass.
