Acknowledgement

Thank all testers from wide range areas. They tested and advised Beast Tools beyond any stakes. Some features and usabilities are not completed without them. Note that they always tested Beast Tools on a fair basis which means they do not always support all tools and recommend to use them but they understand there are users who are empowered by the tools.
