Aha. Didn't know about that one, and maybe a lot more people didn't, since
there are quite some hollering here...

Pretty neat. However, can anyone fill in responses to others reports?

And finally, the usability of that tool depends on how many on this list
will check it regularly, and that seem not to be today...

email might work better on the short practical problems people have. These
problems might very well depend on bugs in the vax port, but if someone
has a fix for it already, people want that fix, and to get Ragge to
include it. :-)

And what about plain problems getting things to run?
