BEFORE POSTING TO THE LIST
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Please note the following points...
|
|
* Zint is primarily developed for Linux. While we have some experience of
|
|
using Zint on Windows we may be unable to resolve problems if they are
|
|
specific to other operating systems. We cannot provide support for using
|
|
Zint with commercial packages such as MS Office or Crystal Reports.
|
|
* Always ensure you are using the latest version of Zint before posting bug
|
|
reports - the bug you are reporting may have been fixed already.
|
|
* Please remember to state what operating system you are using and include
|
|
enough information to allow us to reproduce the error - including input
|
|
data if appropriate.
|
|
* Please DO NOT post messages asking for us to change the license
|
|
arrangements. You will be ignored.
|
|
* Please remember that Zint is developed by volunteers. While we attempt to
|
|
answer all messages within a week, this is highly dependant on external
|
|
circumstances.
