4 Reporting Bugs

Please send bug reports and suggestions for tabfmt to the following mailing list:

tabfmt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

You can get the latest version of the program at the tabfmt homepage:

http://tabfmt.sourceforge.net/

Alternatively, you can obtain the source code via CVS with the following command:

     cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tabfmt \
       co -P tabfmt

For bug reports, please include enough information for the maintainers to reproduce the problem. Generally speaking, that means:

• the version number of tabfmt.
• hardware and operating system names and versions.
• the contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug.
• a description of the problem and samples of any erroneous output.
• any unusual options you gave to configure.
• anything else that you think would be helpful.

When in doubt whether something is needed or not, include it. It's better to include too much than to leave out something important.

Patches are most welcome; if possible, please make them with `diff -c' (see Overview) and include ChangeLog entries (see Change Log).

When sending patches, if possible please do not encode or split them in any way; it's much easier to deal with one plain text message, however large, than many small ones. GNU shar is a convenient way of packaging multiple and/or binary files for email.
