     These Acknowledgements are concerned with the archiving of the NMS data  
     20 years after the Giotto-Halley encounter. For me, as a former team     
     member of the Giotto IMS team it was not at all obvious which data of the
     NMS could still be used after 20 years. Most raw and analyzed data were  
     on data media which could not be read anymore by existing computers (data
     tapes, cartridges, etc.). It turned out that the only usable data were   
     the ones which were plotted relatively shortly after the encounter on    
     paper. The people knowing all the details of the data and the data analy-
     sis have long since either retired or left the University. It would not  
     have been possible to archive these data without the help of the former  
     NMS PI, Prof. Dieter Krankowsky and of the former PhD student Dr. Roland 
     Meier whose help is gratefully acknowledged. The PhD theses written on   
     the NMS by several former students (R. Meier, M. Reber, U. Dolder, J.    
     Woweries), were of utmost importance to redo the data analysis after so  
     many years. The digitizing of the data was done by my daughter Nelly who 
     did a very careful job. Our ROSINA SW engineer, Thierry Semon used his   
     knowledge on data archiving from the Rosetta mission to archive the NMS  
     data in a PDS compatible manner. The archiving effort was supported by   
     Joe Zender from ESA. ESA also supported the effort financially.
