A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE


EVOKE was created in 2007 by Ian Howie Mackenze, with contributions from
Allister Noble and Christopher J Hurst. It was evolved from the deepcore
library of the DeepSystems Partnership (www.deepserver.net), which was
developed through several versions by Christopher J Hurst and
Ian Howie Mackenzie over the years 2000 to 2007.

Thanks to all the volunteers who have worked under Ian's direction
to make these releases possible.

All EVOKE releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
the Open Source Definition).
