It is very +inspired by Visual Basic and Java. + +Go to [http://gambas.sourceforge.net] to get more information: how to compile +and install it, where to find binary packages, how to report a bug... + +Go to [http://gambaswiki.org] for the language documentation. + +The following pieces of code were borrowed and adapted: + +- The natural string comparison algorithme was adapted from the algorithm + made by Martin Pol. See http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/ for more + details. + +- The hash table implementation was adapted from the glib one. + +- The HTML entities parsing in gb.gtk comes from KHTML sources. + +- The gb.image.effect sources are adapted from KDE 3 image effect routines. + +- The blur image algorithm was adapted from the StackBlur javascript + routine from http://www.quasimondo.com/StackBlurForCanvas. + +- The gb.clipper library embeds the Clipper library. See + http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php for mode details. + +- The function that computes the easter day of a specific year uses an + algorithm made by Aloysius Lilius And Christophorus Clavius. + +If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me. + +Enjoy Gambas! + +Benoît. \ No newline at end of file
