- directories and linked file. I depents on user now, what should

- action with linked entries does not work).
- (The filesize can be also WRONG sometimes, cause some servers

-
- Remarks for soon coming release version:
- ========================================
-
- o Try to find as many bugs as possible, send report via e-Mail to
- "merlin@sixpack.pfalz.de" (NO MIME mails please).
- The logfile "T:AmFTP.log" often helps me to find bugs, other
- tempfiles, too (T:.AMFTP-RTMP-<PrId>...").
-
- o Everybody who did catalog translation in foreign languages,
- should send me an current version ! Old versions cannot be
- released. Special thanks to those, who send me an actual version
- for each new version.
-
- o If AmFTP crashes on starting, you have to remove ".AMFTPProfiles",
- in $HOME and/or PROGDIR: directory.
- AmFTP betas did only conversion of the prefs file from one
- previous version to the current one. So if you skipped some
- beta (!) versions it may cause trouble.
