Special Thanks
--------------

     I would like to thank the excellent developers of wxWidgets and Code::Blocks. wxWidgets really makes programming easy and fun, and has so many features, I hope to get to play with them all someday! Code::Blocks with wxSmith makes the design process SO MUCH easier and the source code helped me figure a few things for this project. THANK YOU!
     I would also like to thank Florian Balmer (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/). I used your Notepad2 README as a template for this README and it helped me out a lot. THANK YOU!
