1 [Please use the PRF form below to submit bug reports, problem reports,
2 etc., to the ACE developers and interested users. Send it to
3 ace-bugs@list.isis.vanderbilt.edu, you must be subscribed to the list
4 in order to be able to post to it. If you are using OCI, PrismTech, or
5 Riverace's versions of ACE do not send bugs to this mailing list, but
6 instead contact those companies for support. Please also send your
7 PRF as plain ASCII text, _not_ uuencoded or as an attachment.
9 We prefer that all bug reports be submitted through our bug tracking
10 system. See $ACE_ROOT/docs/usage-bugzilla.html for more information
11 about how to do this. If you are unsure as to whether your problem
12 is a real bug or not then please submit your question to the mailing
13 list using the following form. Not using the problem report form
14 will make it harder or impossible to identify the problem, and in
15 many cases we will be unable to help at all. Also please try to
16 browse bugzilla and the ChangeLog files to find out if your problem
17 has been solved in a more recent version of ACE.
