    GoldEd contains a number of still unfixed bugs or semi-unsolvable
    problems. The following list is *not* complete.

    Internal editor
    ---------------
    The internal editor has many odd bugs, most prominently the line
    wrapping when editing at the end of lines and the block
    (cut/paste) functions. As you may know, the internal editor code
    is ported from the source of another editor, Msged 2.00, and the
    code was buggy from the start - my implementation did not make it
    much better... It is almost impossible to removed the bugs (I have
    tried many times), and I have resolved to simply write a
    completely new internal editor for a future version.

    Multitasking environment
    ------------------------
    2.30:   It *is* possible to run GoldED and read/write mail, while
            a user is online on your networked or multitasking
            RA/Super/QuickBBS, but it is *NOT* safe! This is something
            I will surely be taking care of in a near future version.
    2.31:   In this version, I added code to support safe sharing of
            the messagebase. I'm not sure how well it works in
            practice, but preliminary reports indicate that it works
            as it should.

    Swapping
    --------
    Several users have experienced problems using the swapping
    facility in GoldED to shell to DOS or an external editor. Usually
    this is a result of conflicts between various EMS/XMS/extended
    memory managers. Try using SWAPALL DISK, this usually always work
    (if there is enough free disk ;-). You might also try turning off
    the OVERLAYEXT/EMS keywords, if you had them on.

    Overlays
    --------
    In at least one case, I have heard of conflicts between an
    overlayed version of Binkley, running in a multitasking
    environment with GoldED. Binkley and GoldED both seems to use and
    grab the same overlay manager interrupt...

    There are other bugs and problems, but I can't remember them right
    now.
