BEFORE POSTING TO THE LIST
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Please note the following points...
|
|
* You do not need to join the list to post messages, although joining
|
|
the list will usually mean your request is answered more promptly.
|
|
* Zint is primarily developed for Linux. If you are using another platform
|
|
then we will be less able to help you, although we will do so if we can.
|
|
We cannot provide support for commercial packages such as MS Office or
|
|
Crystal Reports.
|
|
* Always ensure you are using the latest version of Zint before posting bug
|
|
reports - the bug you are reporting may have been fixed already.
|
|
* Please remember to state what operating system you are using and include
|
|
enough information to allow us to reproduce the error - including input
|
|
data if appropriate.
|
|
* Please DO NOT post messages asking for us to change the license
|
|
arrangements. You will be ignored. If you want a barcode encoder with a
|
|
different license then please look elsewhere.
|
|
* Please remember that Zint is developed by volunteers - don't be surprised
|
|
if we are unable to help you or if it takes a long time to answer your
|
|
questions.
