I’d like to thank the following people who had helped me to develop the program:

  • The members of Chollian PDA SIG. Especially, WOOKJIN, FILIIDEI and PUNGMUL.
  • JungYoon Park, Alan Hecht - who sent me icons of HappyDays.
  • Wolfgang Fahl - Author of Birthdate for Pilot. I was inspired by the idea to create a birthdate tracking program from it.
  • Mitch Blevins - Creator of Diddlebug. And he has maintained the link to the GPL programs for the Palm which was helpful to me.
  • Chris Faherty - Creator of Hot date program which I referred to.
