There were many contributors in writing the CONGEN documentation. Bernie Brooks wrote the sections on Vibrational Analysis, Images, and Coordinate Manipulations. Dave States wrote the sections on the Non-bonded Interactions and Parameter File Development. S. Swaminathan wrote the section on Correlation Functions. I also thank Donna Bassolino for reviewing the entire document and for contributing the code for NMR constraints and all hydrogen topology file searching. A special thanks is extended to Drs. Juan Luis Pascual-Ahuir, Estanislao Silla and for making the GEPOL algorithms available for use within CONGEN.
Besides the direct contributors, CONGEN has had many supporters over the years. Dr. Edgar Haber provided the research environment where most of the work was done. His interest in macromolecular structure was essential. When support was difficult to obtain, Dr. Haber was always there. Dr. Jiri Novotny is my closest scientific colleague, and together, we have applied CONGEN to many different modeling problems. Many of the program's capabilities resulted from questions he wanted to answer. Jiri has bestowed me with his considerable knowledge about protein structure as well as his experience as a scientist. Professor Martin Karplus was my Ph.D. advisor, and the laboratory that he established was the womb where CONGEN was created. The command processing language was inspired by the GRIPHOS package developed by Professor Jack Heller at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Finally, Richard M. Stallman gave me the inspiration that CONGEN should be free.
