To submit a bug report, send an e-mail to:

Insomnia (Stea Greene) <insomnia@core.binghamton.edu> 

with a subject line of:
GATOS BUG: <brief description...>

Then in the main body of the message:
misbehavior,
IBTK you are using,
attachment or right in the message),
fix the problem. See PATCHES below,
When a bug is fixed or if the bug report is not understood, you
will get a reply, so make sure your message is properly reply-able.

To create a patch, first make sure you have a full tree of both the
original and the modified trees (herin called "gatos-orig" and
"gatos-new" respectively).
Make sure each tree is clean by using:
->
make distclean
in EACH directory.  Then change to the directory immediately above
these two directories and use the following command:
->
diff -ur gatos-orig gatos-new > gatos-new-patch 
Look at gatos-new-patch (with a text editor or viewer) and make sure
nothing is changed that you didn't intend to be.  You can submit this
patch to me either included in an e-mail, or as a MIME attachment, or
you can compress it and send it as a MIME attachment, as follows:
Compress it with:
->
gzip -9 gatos-new-patch
Then send gatos-new-patch.gz to me as a MIME attachment.
If there is a problem with the patch, or I have a question or the
patch/description is not understood, you will get a reply, so make sure
your message is properly reply-able.
