2SCARE is secondary clone of jAsea, Mark J. Tilford's Java GPL clone of the
3Adrift Runner.

5It aims to provide an ANSI/ISO C core Adrift interpreter, capable of running
6Adrift version 4.00, version 3.90, and version 3.80 games, and portable enough
7to run on Linux, Windows, DOS, Macintosh, Amiga, or any platform that offers
8an ANSI/ISO C compiler.

34Thanks to Jan-Erik Karlsson for work on SCARE for Amiga; Uli Kusterer for work
35on the Macintosh SCARE build; Thomas Payerle for slogging through the Adrift
36version 3.90 TAF file format; Rik Snel for his work to uncovering the TAF file
37obfuscation used by Adrift versions 3.90 and 3.80; David Kinder for the
38Windows specific Glk startup code; Emily Short for uncovering bugs that only
39showed up well into a couple of games; Robert Goodwin, Richard Otter, Eric
40Mayer, Todd Watson, Nick Rogers, and Sam Trenholme for miscellaneous bug
41reports; and David Whyld for bug reports and detailed game walkthroughs for
42reference and testing.
43
44And, of course, to Mark J. Tilford who started this whole thing in the first
45place with jAsea, providing almost all of the Adrift reverse engineering that
46SCARE uses.  Without jAsea, there would be no SCARE.
