TkScript is (c) 2001-2012 by Bastian Spiegel (bs_AT_tkscript_DOT_de)
 
Thanks to Carsten Busse for his work on the tkmath, tkcg and tkfreeglut plugins, the X86/32 and X64 backends of the upcoming new JIT compiler and finally for beta-testing TkScript and plugins on PC Linux/X86,X64 and PS3 Linux/PPC.
 
The Win32 TkScript installer uses Inno Setup by Jordan Russell.
