mgv is based on Ghostview by Tim Theisen (tim@cs.wisc.edu) with some
ideas from Ghostview-VMS by Johannes Plass
(plass@dipmza.physik.uni-mainz.de).
I'd also like to thank L. Peter Deutsch, president of Aladdin Enterprises,
(ghost@aladdin.com) for Ghostscript (without which, mgv would not be possible).
None of this would be possible without Linux and the FSF. I currently develop mgv using LessTif.
The conversion to GNU autoconf probably would have been much harder if I couldn't borrow code and ideas from the DDD and LessTif configure scripts.
The following people have offered helpful advice and patches:
