This site is full of information that I found on different places. The main thing I did was finding and ordering it in the way I liked. And the search still goes on. Here is a list of resources I have used or which might be worthwhile to check out. I suppose to not have violated any copyright. If someone is of the opinion that I violated his/her copyright, it can be notified to sybev@knoware.nl. Let it be clear that
this is a non-commercial site.

Sources of audio/visual stuff on this site

The picture of the quetzal (quetzal.jpg) on the introduction page is from H. Miller's site.
The sound of the quetzal (quetzal.wav), is converted from Quetzal.au. Some information about this sound-file can be found at BirdSounds/Quetzal.txt

Sources of programming (Java / Javascript)

The "Green Lightning" Javascript is an adapted version of the Fade Script ( Fade Script v0.1 by Kouichirou@Eto.com 1996). Website http://eto.com/JavaScript/
The NavigationButton Java-applet was written by myself. For more information see my employer's website: Kender-Thijssen Business Communications, or go directly to the applets page.
