24Before using this form, please read the <a
25href="Bug-info.htm">instructions</a> for reporting problems. If you are
26running a developer or beta version of Ghostscript, and you are an
27experienced tester (for example, if you have been testing Ghostscript
28for more than a year, or you have already submitted at least two problem
29reports that we accepted for investigation), you can send an informal report
30to the place indicated below. Otherwise, please fill out this form
31completely. Fill out <strong>all</strong> applicable items in this form.
32
33<p>
34Most importantly, you <strong>must</strong> include all data (PostScript files,
35PDF files, batch/script files, and/or fonts) required to reproduce the problem,
36either
37by giving a URL from which we can download the data, or by including the
38data with the report itself. If you don't include this information, we can't
39investigate the problem. Please note that the bug reports are publicly
40archived, so the information you provide will be generally available. If the
41test data absolutely must remain confidential, please so indicate on the form
42below and provide an address we may contact privately for the file.
43
44<p>
45Once you have prepared the report, go to <a
46href="http://bugs.ghostscript.com"
47class="offsite">http://bugs.ghostscript.com</a>.
48and follow the instructions there. Data files can be attached to the
49bug report after the bug is submitted.
50Use the completed problem reporting form as
51the body of the Bugzilla submission. If by some reason the Bugzilla doesn't
52work for you, bugs can be submitted as follows:
53
54<ul>
55
56<li>If you are running MS-DOS, MS Windows, or OS/2, and you are reasonably
57sure that the problem is specific to your platform, mail to <a
58href="mailto:bug-gswin@ghostscript.com">bug-gswin@ghostscript.com</a>.
59
60<li>If you are running MacOS, and you are reasonably sure that the problem
61is specific to the Mac, mail to <a
62href="mailto:mac-gs@ghostscript.com">mac-gs@ghostscript.com</a>.
63
64<li>Otherwise, mail to <a
65href="mailto:bug-gs@ghostscript.com">bug-gs@ghostscript.com</a>.
