Most of the trouble I have with OS9 is due to documentation errors and typos and also bugs in the products which are generally already known. If you're lucky and talk to the right person the solution or bypass can be trivial. But having to rediscover each bug myself is a pain. Is there any possibility we can create an amalgamated bug list and perhaps even a documenation typo and error list which could then be distributed on request and/or reposted periodically. Something along the lines of the moderated OS9 newsgroup. Maybe even as part of it? -- Name: Mark Acfield (University of Toronto Computing Services) Path: ihnp4!utgpu!ac Alias: ac@utoronto.bitnet

It will contain a list of known bugs and fixes, as well as an addendum list of unsquashed (but identified) bugs. I'll be happy to act as the gateway to the NET for this buglist, as soon as it appears. I did post a similar one for LI Ver 2.00.00, but I believe my (then) poster dumped it to /dev/null. Coversely, if you (all) have bugs/fixes, mail them to me, and I'll see that they get cross domain coverage. We have a lot of gurus over there (CIS). -- Pete Lyall Usenet: {trwrb, scgvaxd, ihnp4, voder, vortex}!wlbr!pete Compuserve: 76703,4230 (OS9 SIG Sysop) OS9 (home): (805)-985-0632 (24hr./1200 baud) Phone: (818)-706-5693 (work 9-5 PST) EATON Corp, IMSD, 31717 La Tienda Dr., Westlake Village, Ca. 91359 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
