16. Feedback to the Author

The Author encourages any one using this application to report any bugs and/or errors that are discovered in StrongBS itself or in the result compressed program.

The Author also welcomes any suggestions and ideas for improvement.

Bug reporting:
If you find a bug then please give me as many details as possible as to the circumstances that cause it, try and get it repeatable.

Try to isolate it to an individual Squash Option by compressing your program using one or group of options at a time.

You may send me your original un-compressed BASIC file that produces the error. If you do that please ensure that the program you send is a stand alone program, i.e. does not need other resources to run, like Template files, !Run files, Sprite file, etc.. A bug in StrongBS may not cause an error message to be generated when your compressed program is run, it may cause it to behave differently!!

You can also give detailed useful info by comparing the line of the compressed BASIC program that gives the error with the original line of the un-compressed program, to do that de-select the "Line Numbering" option, to speed line number comparison.

Suggestions for improvement:
If you have any suggestions and/or ideas for improvement that you want to see in StrongBS, please let me know, so that every one can benefit.

Contacting me:
You can contact me by email: mohsen@qatar.net.qa

If you want to send any program you could send them as attachments to the email message using any encoding/attachment you prefer.

Reporting bugs with 3rd party options:
It is possible that your program doesn't work because of a bug in a 3rd party option. If this occurs, try squashing with 3rd party options disabled.
Any bugs discovered in 3rd party options or utilities can be reported to the author of the 3rd party code/utility. Please see the filename "addresses" in the 3rdParty directory on how to contact 3rd party code authors.
