Bug reports help make Gri more reliable and useful for all users. The procedure for reporting bugs, described below, is quite standard. <p> <ol> <p> <li> Go to the bug-tracking part of the Source Forge Gri development site, at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5511">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5511</code></font>'</a> to see whether your bug has already been reported. You may find that it has been reported and fixed already in a new version, in which case you should archive your existing Gri version and upgrade. If the bug has been reported and <b>not</b> fixed, then you may still wish to add a supplemental bug report, so the author knows that this bug is of concern to you as well as the others. (Plus, reporting it this way ensures that you'll receive an email when the bug is fixed.) <p> <li> It is crucial that you report the version of Gri that you are using. You may discover this by running Gri as `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri -version</code></font>'. <p> <li> When reporting bugs, please do all you can to reduce your application and your data to the smallest and simplest state. As you can expect, this makes the debugging procedure much simpler. <p> <li> If you have the ability to do so, please try to find the bug yourself. After all, Gri is open-source for a reason! The procedure is described in the next section (see <a href="KillingBugs.html#KillingBugs">Killing Bugs</a>). <p> </ol> <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
