If <em>you</em> +think you have found a genuine fault in TeX itself (or Metafont, or the +CM fonts, or the TeXbook), don't immediately write to Knuth, +however. He only looks at bugs once or twice a year, and even then +only after they are agreed as bugs by a small vetting team. In the +first instance, contact Barbara Beeton at the AMS +(<i>bnb@math.ams.org</i>), or contact +<a href="FAQ-TUGstar.html">TUG</a>. +<p>If you've found a bug in LaTeX2e, <a href="FAQ-latexbug.html">report it</a> +using mechanisms supplied in the LaTeX distribution. +<p>If you've found a bug in LaTeX 2.09, or some other such unsupported +software, there's not a lot you can do about it. You may find help or +<em>de facto</em> support on a newsgroup such as +<i>comp.tex.tex</i> or on a mailing list such as +<a href="mailto:texhax@tug.org"><i>texhax@tug.org</i></a>, but posting non-bugs to any of these forums +can lay you open to ridicule! Otherwise you may need to pay for +help - TUG maintains a +<a href="http://www.tug.org/consultants.html">register of TeX consultants</a>. +<p></body> |
