Thanks a lot. +.PP +If you want to report any bugs or make any suggestions, +you can contact me via Email.

Watson, +for SlackBuilds.org. +.SH COPYRIGHTS +This program is freely distributable. However, it is not in +the Public Domain, so please don't distribute modified +versions without notifying me. +.SH BUGS +There are no known bugs. +.PP +However, if you use the \-t option, you should set the +stack to 10000 (because the recursions will eat some +stack). +.PP +Also, as the \-t option performs quite a few jumps in +the file, it can take a long time if the file is on a disk. +It is advisable to put it on your hard disk or into RAM. +.PP COMPATIBILITY +The program is written without using any Amiga\-specific +functions. I have tried to make it work on little\-endian +machines as well as big\-endian ones. However, I had no +possibility to test whether it compiles (and works) on any +system apart from the Amiga. +.SH "VERSION HISTORY " +1.00 (31.5.1992) +.PP +First public release. +.PP +1.01 (18.7.1992) +.PP +Externalised global variables.
