/*******************************************************************/

1. Q: Is there a WWW-site for Wildfire ?
   A: Not yet.

2. Q: How to contact the author ?
   A: epgbc@cluster1.urz.Uni-Halle.DE

3. Q: The demo-version I have installed isn't capable to convert
      large animations because of ''eating'' too much memory.
      Is this only a ''feature'' of the Demo-version ?

   A: Yes, of course !
      Wildfire has an own memory handler to simplify and speed up
      memory-allocations. The Demo-version doesn't call the free()-function,
      only the freeall()-function (which cleans up after program-exit)
      is used.

4. Q: Wildfire crashes my machine heavily at startup...
   A: This is a serious thing.
      Before releasing any version of Wildfire I perform some
      characteristic enforcer-tests together with mungwall.
      So it's nearly impossible that the program performs
      some illegal things at startup itself.

      Maybe the reason is a lack in your system-software or a
      very special expansion-board.

      The following tools are installed in my system without
      causing any troubles with Wildfire:

       MCP (almost any things that make sense are enabled)
       DynamiCache
       NewIcons3.0
       DefIcons
       FastIPrefs
       NewMode
       PowerSnap
       ToolManager
       BlizKick
       KingCON
       fBlt
       CPUClr
       AAStarter
       PatchWPA8
       and maybe some more

      The following libraries are opened at startup:
       dos, graphics, intuition, diskfont, gadtools, utility,
       asl, wildfire, datatypes, amigaguide, workbench

      Long time ago I had a problem with another program crashing
      after opening an old version of amigaguide.library.
      So always try to use the latest and official versions of
      all of the disk-based libraries.

      For further help send me a more detailed bug-report
      including snoopdos- and enforcer-logfiles.

5. Q: Wildfire crashes my machine after loading the PlugIns...
   A: Since version 2.56 the debug-option ("wf -debug")
      turns on the output of some startup- and cleanup-informations.
      Please try it again using this option and send me the
      generated output (if possible).

6. Q: My machine is equipped with an 68060-processor and after
      starting Wildfire it hangs up. The reason may be that 
      some instructions on the 68060 processor must be emulated...
   A: No, this isn't the reason. Wildfire is developed on an A1200
      equipped with an 68060-expansion-board (made by Phase5) and
      some other useful stuff.

7. Q: Does Wildfire need the AGA-chipset ?
   A: The program itself should work without the AGA-chipset
      but it requires OS3.0 or higher. But I'm not really sure.
