Background Information
----------------------
This work was begun by d'Armond Speers in late 1992.  d'Armond first
released tlhIngan Hol pojwI' version 2.5 in the Spring of 1993.  While
working on version 3.0, d'Armond was contacted by two others interested
in improving the project.  Steve Baker is responsible for this GUI-esque
interface, as well as countless improvements to the original code and all
the additional features.  Julia Simon is responsible for the spell-checking
feature in the Tranlsate Klingon to English screen, and is working on
sentence-level syntax.

We'd love to hear from you!  Your comments, feedback, ideas, and
suggestions can go a long way toward making tlhIngan Hol pojwI' the
best Klingon language analyzer in this quadrant!
