6. Licence:
===========
This beta version may be freely distributed. For copying and distribution
a fee up to 3$ to cover costs may be charged.
The use of this Beta is allowed until 31 July 1994 or until a new beta is
released, whatever happens earlier.
7. Known bugs and problems
==========================
When in doubt, please ask in the beta echo
- Redraw-problem in Threadliste when expanding branches. Dunno why...
- FleetStreet does not run correctly on OS/2 2.99 Performance Beta. There is
a new MLE bug, which is visible when writing messages. Symptoms:
- incorrect font displayed
- no font at all
- excessive swapping until the swap partition is filled up.
This is _not_ a FleetStreet bug!
The bottom line is: Don't run FleetStreet on 2.99.
8. Bug reports from you:
========================
I can't say much more about the following bugs (can't reproduce them):
- HMSG.DLL crashes when trying to read an empty message in a *.MSG area.
Works OK for me.
9. To-Do-List for 1.0:
======================
This changes from day to day. I don't dare to write anything now.
