Recent releases +also use a lot of information from Dean Hickerson's header to his +1995 stamp file (http://conwaylife.com/ref/DRH/stamps.html). + Most of the information on recent results is from the discoverers +themselves, or from Nathaniel Johnston's excellent resources at +http://www.conwaylife.com, including both the LifeWiki and the +discussion forums. + The following people all provided useful comments on earlier releases +of this lexicon: David Bell, Nicolay Beluchenko, Johan Bontes, Daniel +Collazo, Scot Ellison, Nick Gotts, Ivan Fomichev, Dave Greene, Alan +Hensel, Dean Hickerson, Dieter Leithner, Mark Niemiec, Gabriel Nivasch, +Andrzej Okrasinski, Arie Paap, Peter Rott, Chris Rowett, Tony Smith, +Ken Takusagawa, Andrew Trevorrow, Malcolm Tyrrell, and the +conwaylife.com forum users with the handles 'thunk' and 'Apple Bottom'. + The format, errors, use of British English and anything else you +might want to complain about are by Stephen Silver - except that for +post-Version 25 definitions, everything besides the British English +may well be Dave Greene's fault instead. + +# COPYING + This lexicon is copyright (C) Stephen Silver, 1997-2018.
