During my short history of getting experience with Life and Cellular Automata I've received help from many people. I'd like to thank:

• David Griffeath (http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/kitchen.html) for hosting a mirror site of MCell in USA; for in-depth testing of my software, *many* new ideas for MCell, for the new excellent name for my program, and for his great Home Page.
• Michael Sweney, Brian Prentice and Charles A. Rockafellor for exceptional engagement in exploring CA's, for flooding me with information, ideas and hints, and for help in maintaining this site.
• Johan Bontes (http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/Life32.html) for his perfect Life32 program, a library of "Life" rules, profound Beta-tests of MCell, and tips for speeding MCell up.
• Piotr Zelisko (http://www.opus.chelm.pl) for hosting my MCell site in Poland.
• Stephen A. Silver (http://www.argentum.freeserve.co.uk/life.htm), for his exceptional Life Lexicon, hints on loading ProLife files, Beta-testing MCell, RLE description, and for interesting MCell patterns.
• Rudy Rucker and John Walker (http://www.fourmilab.ch/cellab/) for the powerful CelLab and the online manual that's my CA Bible.
• Rudy Rucker and David Lowenstein, for pointing me to valuable CA resources and for many suggestions for the program.
• John Elliott (http://jmge.net), for inspiring ideas used in MCell 2.0, for his powerful Java applet (which now runs many of MCell rules), and for Java language consultations.
• Mark D. Niemiec (http://home.interserv.com/~mniemiec/), for consultations and a lot of useful information about Cellular Automata.
• Ben Schaeffer, for Beta testing, many interesting new rules and MCell patterns.
• Jean-Philippe Rennard (http://www.rennard.org/alife/) for his beautiful CAV (Cellular Automata Viewer) program and for a set of "Generations" rules.
• Alan Hensel (http://www.mindspring.com/~alanh/life/) for the great patterns libraries, powerful Java applet, and for permission to use his Life-like rules descriptions.
• Paul Callahan (http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~callahan/lifepage.html) for his page of odds and ends about Conway's Game of Life.
• Voitek Pendrak, for endless language consultations.
• ... and many others, I can't mention all of you here.
