Bug Report Form
===============
If you encounter a problem, then just fill this out, and mail it to
manic@emulationzone.org to get a solution to the problem. If the
fault is with the program, then the information you provide will be
helpful in creating a bugfix.
Just replace the blanks with the appropriate information.
Where there are multiple options, just delete all items that do not
apply.

Even if there is no problem with the Debug-O-Matic, then it would be
helpful if you could fill out this form anyway (except bits referring
to the Debug-O-Matic crashing) so that I can build up a database of
system information, so I know what programming techniques to use when
making upgrades for the Debug-O-Matic. Although some things may not
seem related to the Debug-O-Matic, the info is still useful.
