GramoFile was developed by Anne Bezemer and Ton Le, students of the
department of Information Technology and Systems (ITS), sub-department of
Electrical Engineering (ET) of the Delft University of Technology (TU
Delft). The first major part was written during the `Integraal Project
Practicum' (IPP) in the spring of 1998. However, development has continued
unofficially thereafter (so now we have track splitting operational :).
Total development time is about 7 weeks full-time.
                                                                                
The following persons have been very helpful and/or supportive during the
`official' part of the project: A.P. Thijssen, E.A. Hendriks, A. Redert,
J.A.H. Snelders, L. Meijs and R.J. de Gruijl. Other persons are mentioned
in the ChangeLog file.
                                                                                
Bob Wilkinson has (unofficially) taken over this project in 2003, after
re-writing the interface to the Perl code using XS instead of SWIG. He
attempted many times to communicate with Anne Bezemer to no avail seeking
that the patches be incorporated into GramoFile.

After patching the code so that XS could be used to interface to Perl, he
added most of the patches available on the "official" GramoFile site at
http://www.opensourcepartners.nl/~costar/gramofile/

These patches were written by Sylvain Deschenes, Jon Schewe, Tom Harvey, 
Herbert Pophal, J&ouml;rg Specht, J. Dru Lemley and James Tappin.

After these patches were made, a search on freshmeat.net led to finding
patches written by Vaclav Dvorak - these were mostly included into the 
present source tree. Most relate to the bplaysrc directory.

These patches are available from http://nebuchadnezzar.zion.cz/gramofile.php

These patches were further patched by C R Johnson, the author of xmcd2make
available from http://freeengineer.org/xmcd2make.html

Most of the patches made by C R Johnson have been incorporated into the
source tree.

Bob Wilkinson then made an attempt to allow the use of the GNU Autotools - 
configure, automake and libtool to be used to build the source after being
recommended the use of libtool to build the library by the maintainer of 
the Debian package, Daniel Kobras. This involved a little re-structuring 
of the directories.
