45ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
46
47FreeOICQ developers reverse-engineered Tencent's Win32 client code and
48published their source codes on the Internet. I would never be able to write
49Net::OICQ without access to FreeOICQ source codes.

51Chen Peng reverse-engineered the assembly codes created by FreeOICQ and kindly
52made available his C source codes for the cipher used in OICQ.
