>>>090400 HOW TO FIX SOFTWARE BUGS, *BEFORE* TROUBLE STRIKES

Getting information about bugs and fixes, BEFORE you install
a new software program, might save you from problems such as
lost data or a "frozen" PC. It is often possible to find out
what kind of problems you might have with the program - and
which of these bugs can be fixed before they cause you any
trouble.

Here are a few ideas on where to look for bug reports and
fixes:

* Visit the software maker's Web site. Patches or free
upgrades might be available there.

* Browse a bug-reporting Web site, such as BugNet
(www.bugnet.com) or Woody's Office Portal (www.wopr.com).

* Look through computer magazines such as PC World, which
features a monthly Bugs and Fixes column.

* Check out newsgroups and discussion lists that cover the
type of software in questions. You can find these through
the major search engines.

* Always check the README file (usually named readme.txt)
before you install the software.

Taking a little time to fix a problem, before it affects
you, will help keep your computer running smoothly and your
valuable data secure.
