"The original visprint code was written by Ian Goldberg, based on an
idea by Hal Finney, in a post to the coderpunks mailing list. The most
excellent color enhancements were added by Raph Levien. David Johnston
made a port for Win95 console mode and added a bunch of nice features.
Soren Andersen developed the png and transparency code."
