The following is an incomplete list of known issues, bugs and possible
future enhancements to my eclectic software. Please note that not all issues
will be addressed. For example, it's unlikely I'll do anything about the
software not working on Win98. Bugs, on the other hand, will be fixed
eventually if I can reproduce them. Ideas for future enhancements may or may
not eventuate. Things marked as Done
will be available in the next release.
