   With a program as large and complex as filePro, there will
be bugs/issues in it. When I worked at Small Computer and
was in charge of the bug list, I can't tell you how many times
a developer would say "Hey, did you fix the bug that does
x, y an z?" and when I replied "I didn't know that that
was a bug. Did you report this?" and every single time
the answer was "No, I thought that someone else would."

   No one at fP Tech/Small Computer is/was psychic. Bugs
need to be reported.
