REPORTING BUGS

116       We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the  only  way  to  ensure
117       that  your  bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
118       resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is  not  very
119       useful  in  terms  of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser to
120       http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report  your
