README for mSQL version 1.0 Patch 16	 7 Jul 1996
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


General Info
------------

mSQL has been developed under Sun OS 4.1.1 but has been tested under
Solaris 2.3, Ultrix 4.3, Linux, and OSF/1 (cc not gcc).  That said, it 
should "autoconf" and build on most BSD derived systems, SVR4 based 
systems or POSIX O/S's (that should cover most of them).  It has been
reported that it works out-of-the-box on HP-UX, NeXT, SCO, Sequent,
Cray, Tandem, *BSD  and a few others.  I haven't tested these so buyer beware.


Further Doco
------------

A set of WWW pages for mSQL are now available in the Hughes
Technologies web site.  The URL is

	http://Hughes.com.au/

There is also a very complete FAQ maintained by Peter Samuel
(Peter.Samuel@uniq.com.au) available in both text and HTML formats via 
FTP from Bond.edu.au in /pub/Minerva/msql


Bugs / Problems
---------------

If you find what you think is a bug or you have a problem or question
you'd like answered, __please__ join the mailing list and ask your
question there.  My mailbox floweth over.  I am continually getting
messages to my private mailbox regarding old problems and other matters 
that have been discussed many times on the mailing list.  It takes a lot
of time to wade through the 100's of message I receive per week.

You can join the mailing list by sending a message containing just the
word "subscribe" to 

	msql-list-request@Bunyip.com

If you want to report a bug, please include the following :-

	Include the output of "msqladmin version"
	Include a dump of a test database using msqldump
	Include a mSQL script that will show the bug

You should also ensure that you are running the latest (stable) version
of mSQL before mailing the list as I fix bugs in every version.
