A BUG database for both QUIPU and PP has been set up.
This will enable you to find out if the problem you are experiencing
with ISODE, QUIPU or PP is a known problem. If it is a known problem,
advice on how to fix it is given where possible. If your problem is
not listed in the database it should be reported to jnt-quipu@uk.co.xtel.

The bug database is accessable via FTAM using the address
   #259/Janet=00002100102999 
   username "ANON", no password.  

If you have ISODE 6.8, you can just type
     ftam xtel -u anon

This will give you access to the X-Tel anonymous filestore.
At the top level of this filestore there are:

     README		- A brief note similar to this!
     ls-lsR		- A full listing of all files found here.
     pp			- PP source code, documentation and BUG list
     pp-tables		- PP tables - copied from UCL.
     dirpilot		- A replica of the UCL dirpilot documentation.
     isode		- Source code for ISODE and QUIPU.
     quipu		- QUIPU related files and BUG list.
     src		- Source for misc useful things e.g., patch

For QUIPU the bug database is found in the "quipu" sub-directory,
together with some other QUIPU related files:

     README	      		- Similar to this note!
     ls-ls	      		- A listing of the files in this directory
     oidtable.at
     oidtable.gen
     oidtable.oc		- The most recent QUIPU oidtables
     quipu-6.8-bugs.complete.Z	- A complete list of known bugs with QUIPU-6.8
     quipu-6.8-bugs.summary	- A summary of known bugs with QUIPU-6.8
     upgrade-6.8.shar		- Scripts to upgrade QUIPU-6.1 to QUIPU-6.8
     upgrade-6.8.shar.Z		- Compressed version of above

There is a similar directory for PP, which amongst other things contains:

     pp-5.2-bugs.complete.Z	- A complete list of known bugs with PP-5.2
     pp-5.2-bugs.summary	- A summary of known bugs with PP-5.2



For those of you not familar with FTAM, a brief example follows:

   Connect to xtel...
	dir% ftam xtel -u anon
	xtel... connected
	ANONymous user permitted, access restrictions apply

   Set the type of filestore...
	xtel> set realstore unix
	realstore   = unix            - type of remote realstore

   Have a look and see what is there...
	xtel> ls
	.         .cshrc       dirpilot     ls-lsR       quipu
	..        .ftamrc      isode        pp           src
	.admin    README       ls-ls        pp-tables

   Go into the "quipu" directory...
	xtel> cd quipu

   Have a look and see what is there...
	xtel> ls
	README                 quipu-6.8-bugs.complete.Z
	ls-ls                  quipu-6.8-bugs.summary
	oidtable.at            upgrade-6.8.shar
	oidtable.gen           upgrade-6.8.shar.Z
	oidtable.oc

   Recover the file called "quipu-6.8-bugs.summary" and place it in a
   local file called "/tmp/foobar"...
	xtel> get quipu-6.8-bugs.summary /tmp/foobar
	ftam: 13 bytes received in 0.35 seconds (0.04 Kbytes/s)

   Quit ftam...
	xtel> quit

   Take a look at the file
	dir% more foobar
	     ...



Files can also be recovered from X-Tel via NIFTP using:
	address uk.co.xtel
	username "guest", password=<your-mail-address>
