- language). Please write a netmail to Harry Herrmannsdoerfer (2:2490/2520)
- if you want to carry the echo. You get a list of other nodes connected to
- this echo to make distribution cheaper. This echo may be routed without

- 4. Known bugs and problems
- ==========================
-
- See PROBLEMS.TXT for a list of known problems.
-
- Some problems with OS/2 Warp 3.0 are solved by Warp FixPack #7. I strongly
- recommend installing these patches! However, I do _not_ recommend installing
- any of the newer fixpacks (#10 and above). These are laden with bugs and cause
- a lot of problems with FleetStreet and other programs!
