problems

If you have an old version of TF, chances are your bug has already been fixed. The latest version of TF should be available for anonymous ftp from ftp.tcp.com in pub/mud/Clients/tinyfugue.

Also see http://tf.tcp.com/~hawkeye/tf/ for the latest info on TF. See "/help mailing list" for information on how to subscribe to the tinyfugue mailing list.

Send general bug reports, questions, etc, to hawkeye@tcp.com. For problems specific to the OS/2 version, contact Andreas Sahlbach at asa@stardiv.de. When reporting a problem or bug, please provide this information:

The version of TF (type "/version" in tf). Please give the number, don't just say "the latest version", because you might be behind. The operating system version (type "uname -a" in the shell). If tf won't install, send the Build.log file (UNIX only) if there is one, or send a log of the installation errors (don't leave out parts just because you don't know what they mean or think they're irrelevant). If you have a bug or core, give me ALL messages from tf, not just the last line. If you have a bug or core, tell me what you did or what happened before the problem, and if the problem is repeatable. If you have a core, do NOT send the core file. But if you know how, and tf was compiled with debugging option (usually '-g'), a stack trace would be useful (use the 'where' command in gdb or dbx).

The following bugs are known. Don't bother reporting them.

The %{lp} and %{emulation} variables should work on a per-socket basis (This is partially overcome with WORLD hooks).

If a shell quote (/quote !) reads a partial line from the child process, tf will hang until the line is completed.

/recall by timestamp doesn't work when switching to/from daylight savings time (but /recall by age always works).
