Bug Reports
===========

   Before reporting a bug, see if it is a known one in the bugs
(http://www.am-utils.org/BUGS.txt) file.  Send all bug reports to
<amd-dev@majordomo.cs.columbia.edu> quoting the details of the release
and your configuration.  These can be obtained by running the command
`amd -v'.  It would greatly help if you could provide a reproducible
procedure for detecting the bug you are reporting.

   Providing working patches is highly encouraged.  Every patch
incorporated, however small, will get its author an honorable mention in
the authors file (http://www.am-utils.org/AUTHORS.txt).

Mailing List
============

   There are two mailing lists for people interested in keeping
up-to-date with developments.

  1. The older list, `amd-workers' is for general "how to" questions and
     announcements.  To subscribe, send a note to
     <amd-workers-request@majordomo.glue.umd.edu>.(1)  To post a
     message to this list, send mail to
     <amd-workers@majordomo.glue.umd.edu>.

  2. The developers only list, `amd-dev' is for

        - announcements of alpha and beta releases of am-utils

        - reporting of bugs and patches

        - discussions of new features for am-utils

        - implementation and porting issues

     To subscribe, send a note to <majordomo@majordomo.cs.columbia.edu>
     with the single body text line `subscribe amd-dev'.  To post a
     message to this list, send mail to
     <amd-dev@majordomo.cs.columbia.edu>.  To avoid as much spam as
     possible, only subscribers to this list may post to it.

     Subscribers of `amd-dev' are most suitable if they have the time
     and resources to test new and buggy versions of amd, on as many
     different platforms as possible.  They should also be prepared to
     learn and use the GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool packages,
     and of course, be very familiar with the complex code in the
     am-utils package.  In other words, subscribers on this list should
     be able to contribute meaningfully to the development of amd.
