This library has taken insight from



OLE:

    - libole : Michael Meeks, Arturo Tena, and Frank Chiulli

	- which was based on

	    Laola : by Martin Schwartz

	    WINE : Marcus Meissner, Francis Beaudet, Sylvain St-Germain and

		    Thuy Nguyen

	    Caolan McNamara's work



    - POIFS : Marc Johnson



VBA:

    - libole : Michael Meeks and Frank Chiulli figuring out quite a bit about

		how a vba stream is stored.

    - OpenOffice : For confirming many of Michael's hypothesis' and supplying

		insight into the project file structure.

    - Costin Raiu, Kaspersky Labs <craiu@pcnet.ro>

	: For commenting that the dir stream had offsets too.  That way we can

	   avoid OpenOffice's trouble parsing pcode.



gzip:

    - zlib : for doing all the heavy lifting, and suppling gzio.c as an

		example.
