I will not argue with you! Your statement is 99.99999% correct. But I will add: Even when I find a workaround that makes my program work, it does not mean that bug was not there in the first place.
Gunnar: Sehr guter Punkt! In that case, you should know that RBTI has a proven track record: any boo-boo which has been officially submitted on R:DCC, with complete details to reliably replicate, has been SQUASHED with pride and the user is provided with an interim update/beta to test and verify the cure of such boo-boo. Simply ask those who have done so or have experience dealing with talented and dedicated R:DCC members. Now, if you are NOT able to reliably replicate that boo-boo or did not bother to provide a sample along with necessary files, despite many request(s), what is RBTI and its dedicated R:DCC team supposed to do? Hundreds of bug-fixes in 6.5++ Patch-1 and Patch-2, and now Forty Six (46) additional bug-fixes in Patch-3 (Build:1.862xRT03) is the result of such interaction. FYI, R:DCC has even cleaned up many submitted crappy codes and poor logic, simply to help and get our CURRENT users in the right direction. R:DCC even has a few cases where users will simply submit the bug and send necessary files, hoping that R:DCC staff will do their work. In many cases, R:DCC staff will even go out of their way to provide our lovely users a programming lesson along with samples to help them understand the logical way of doing things. Remember, there is no one who takes more PRIDE than every member of the Dream Team! Bottom Line: If you are able to reliably replicate any boo-boo, officially submit it, sit back, relax and consider it done. If you are not able to reliably replicate something you always talk about, and are not willing to provide any sample along with every associated file(s), unfortunately, there is nothing RBTI or its Dream Team can do. And, you should be dealing directly with R:DCC privately, not on this list server to cause unnecessary confusion. And, RBTI and its dedicated Dream Team will continue to do what they do BEST. Provide our LOYAL and CURRENT users the tools and technology they deserve along with a ROBUST RDBMS. They will NOT be discouraged nor slow down. May you ALL enjoy the long-awaited, long beta tested, In-Line Patch-3, Build:1.862xRT03, of The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++)! Very Best Regards, Razzak.

Razzak Memon Sent: den 26 november 2002 23:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: My Philosophy of a Bug Folks, I have been watching different threads on this Official R:BASE List regarding whether or not an issue encountered while using the latest and greatest beta versions of The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) is a bug or not. In addition, I am also very attentive and proud of the feedback from the VERY PROFESSIONAL R:BASE Community and Developers subscribed to this list. In response to the original thread, I can say only this, and repeat after me: "My inability to improve my programming logic and keep myself up-to-date with the latest and enhanced versions DOES NOT constitute a bug in ANY software." You can add this quotation to the list of Razzak's famous sayings. We are ONLY limited by our product knowledge and our experience! Enjoy the latest and greatest 6.5++ (Build:1.861xRT03) and higher. Very Best Regards, Razzak.
