Sebastien Abeillé started a really good work with this project till version 0.4. His life changed and he is now a bit away from VLM since late 2005. Thanks Sebastien for this stuff, well and cleanly developped. I just have to continue !

François Micaux, ( francois ** at virtual-loup-de-mer ** dot ** org ) I decided on October 2006 to continue the good job of Sebastien. I also host VLM on multiple dedicated servers I rent, installed and administer.
