This is a (far from complete) list, in alphabetical order, of people and organisations who have made a contribution to the ZHLT tools over the years. Thanks go out in particular to Zoner, Merl and XP-Cagey, the maintainers of the compile tools, and to Valve Software, for creating Half-life.
This is a short list of individuals which have contributed to the development of these compile tools.
