Reqtool was written by Chris Debenham (mail me) and was originally based on the great work by the authors of Reqng which was inturn based on req but contains no code from those original programs in the end.

Thanks

Thanks go to Remy Evard and other members of the systems group at Northeastern University’s College of Computer Science (http://www.ccs.neu.edu) for thier work on the original req.

Thanks also go to the authors of ReqNG (http://reqng.sycore.net/reqng) and WWWREQ (http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~cvarner/wwwreq/) which the interface is based on.
