<h2><a name="secC.1">C.1 Acknowledgements</a></h2>
<p>The initial development of STILTS was done under the UK's
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_Project">Starlink project</a> (1980-2005, R.I.P.).
Since then it has been supported by
grant PP/D002486/1 from the
UK's Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council,
the <a href="http://www.eurovotc.org/">VOTech</a>
project (from EU FP6),
the <a href="http://www.astrogrid.org/">AstroGrid</a> project
(from PPARC/STFC),
the <a href="http://cds.u-strasbg.fr/twikiAIDA/bin/view/EuroVOAIDA/WebHome">AIDA</a> project (from EU FP7),
grants ST/H008470/1, ST/I00176X/1, ST/J001414/1 and ST/L002388/1
from the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC),
the <a href="http://www.g-vo.org/">GAVO</a> project
(BMBF Bewilligungsnummer 05A08VHA),
the European Space Agency,
and the EU FP7-2013-Space project GENIUS.
All of this support is gratefully acknowledged.
