# problems

If you have an old version of TF, chances are your bug has already been fixed. The latest version of TF should be available for anonymous ftp from tf.tcp.com in pub/tinyfugue.

Also see http://tf.tcp.com/ for the latest info on TF. See "/help mailing list" for information on how to subscribe to the tinyfugue mailing list.

Send general bug reports, questions, etc, to hawkeye@tcp.com. For problems specific to the OS/2 version, contact Andreas Sahlbach at asa@stardiv.de. When reporting a problem or bug, please provide this information:

- The full version number of TF (type "/version" in tf). Please give the full number, don't just say something like "beta 4" or "the latest version".
- The operating system name and version. (On unix systems, type "`uname -a`" in the shell to get the exact version information.)
- If tf won't install, send the Build.log file (UNIX only) if there is one, or send a log of the installation errors (don't leave out parts just because you don't know what they mean or think they're irrelevant).
- If you have a bug or core, give me ALL messages from tf, not just the last line. Also tell me what you did or what happened before the problem, and whether the problem is repeatable.
- If you have a core, do NOT send the core file. But if you know how, and tf was compiled with debugging option (usually '-g'), a stack trace would be useful (use the 'where' command in gdb or dbx). If you don't know how, at least provide the other information described above.

The following bugs are known. Don't bother reporting them.

- The %{lp} and %{emulation} variables should work on a per-socket basis (This is partially overcome with WORLD hooks).
- If a shell quote (/quote !) reads a partial line from the child process, tf will hang until the line is completed.
- /recall by timestamp doesn't work when switching to/from daylight savings time (but /recall by age always works).
