F3 - Tester Information
F4 - Problem Description

F8 - Developer Specific Information

By making any one of the above selection you will be

is provide to offer simply instructions.
The information below provides a brief explanation of each
of the areas within the BETARPT program.
a. By pressing the 'F2' key you are asked to provide bug
information about the application you are presently testing.
You are asked to be very specific so we may use this
information to attempt to reproduce the bug.
b. The 'F3' key will gain useful information about the
system you are using to test the beta application. Please
fill out all lines as accurately as possible.
c. To describe the bug problem press 'F4'. Please be
in-depth while being brief.
d. The 'F5' key is used to tell us what actions you took
to attempt to correct the noted bug. This includes but is not
limited to removing the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
e. A DOS shell is provided by pressing the 'F6' key.
f. The 'F7' is provided so you may included specific
recommendations for future releases of the product.
g. The 'F8' key will ask for specific information about a
certain application you are testing. This may or may not be
used depending upon the needs of the developer.
h. Pressing 'F9' will save all current files and exit to
DOS. This is useful when you wish to research a particular
bug more thoroughly and do not wish to create a new bug
report.
i. To create a report press the 'F10' key. Once you have
created a report, the Beta Report program will create a file
called BETA.RPT. The BETA.RPT file will contain both the
report that you just created and the status of your machine
at the time you wrote the report. This is the file that we
need to have uploaded to us. Once you have written your
second report, the report program will rename your first
report to BETA.1. The same situation will happen for your
third report, where BETA.RPT will be renamed to BETA.2, etc.
The most current report will always be named BETA.RPT.
