To use Linkbot, you must have the following:

-  IBM PC or compatible.
-  Microsoft Windows 3.1.x, Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5
-  Winsock 1.1 API compliant networking package.
-  Access to the Internet.


BUG REPORTS
-----------

If you experience something you think might be a bug in Linkbot, please report it by sending a message to support@tetranetsoftware.com. Describe what you did, what happened, what URL you were checking, was it local or remote, what version of Linkbot you have, any error messages Linkbot gave, what kind of computer you have, which operating system you're using, and anything else you think might be relevant.


KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------

The following problems are known and are being worked on for the next release:
- This version does not support FTP, NNTP or mail links.
- There may be a long delay when you load a large local file as your starting URL.
- Linkbot doesn't support server side image maps.
- Linkbot doesn't support passwords and security points.
- Linkbot doesn't check re-directed URLs.
- The relative addressing convention "../xxx/xxx/xxx.etc" is recognised and converted to a true complete address, but the double form "../../xxx/xxx/xxx.etc" is not recognised and so shows up as an error when in fact it is perfectly valid.
