Debugging and Bug Reports


Good bug reports, or even asking for help requires gathering some information to help others understand the exact problem. Things that can help are:

  • Screen shots of the software misbehaving
  • Exact error messages for what went wrong
  • Exact information on what was expected to happen (when it went wrong)
  • Logs files! All WWIV 5.1+ binaries produce log files named filename.log (i.e. bbs.log for bbs.exe). Please only include the most recent run showing a problem if you can. Also zip them up since they can get large.
