This is a (far from complete) list, in alphabetical order, of people and organisations who have made a contribution to the ZHLT tools over the years. Thanks go out in particular to Zoner, Merl, XP-Cagey & amckern, the maintainers of the compile tools, and to Valve Software, for creating Half-Life.
This is a short list of individuals which have contributed to the development of these compile tools.

Karl 'XP-Cagey' Patrick |
Continued from Merl's work, keeping his "p-series" going as the only major update to the compile tools, which form the base of this tool set. The list of changes made by XP-Cagey is here. |

Ryan 'Nem' Gregg |
Faster RAD code and updated Ripent in ZHLT 3 beta 4. |
Sean 'Zoner' Cavanaugh |
Started the custom compile tool creation by modifying (with permission) the original Valve compile tools, and maintained it through many revisions, making them become the only compile tools worth using. The 'Z' in ZHLT stands for "Zoner's". The list of changes made by Zoner is here. |

Tim Smith |
Help with getting the 'missing' file in ZHLT 1.1. |
Tony 'Merl' Moore |
Picked up where Zoner left off, Merl's tools added extra functionality and became the official compile tools for Half-Life. The list of changes made by Merl is here. |
ts2do |
Helping find the bug that delayed the release of ZHLT 3.0 final for six months. |
