I am not sure if Apple would consider the posting of Switcher 2.0 to be
"inappropriate".  One would expect that after posting it on Compuserve that
it would start showing up in other places.  (I disagree that the Switcher
is in the public domain, since it does have a Copyright notice.)
 
I agree with Kim Helliwell that the person who posted the Switcher code
should have also posted the instructions for reporting bugs.  I am glad to
see that someone took the time to do that.  

I strongly urge that everyone who downloaded the switcher get the document
that describes how to report bugs, and that you report the bugs you find.
If you expect to receive test copies of signifcant pieces of software, then
you have an obligation to report the bugs.  

I would prefer that you mail in your bug reports to the address given in
the memo and repeated below.  (Another side effect of mailing in the bugs
is that Apple will get to see how successful this kind of beta testing is,
and whether it was worthwhile and should be continued.  On that note, you
might also indicate how you received your copy of the Switcher if it wasn't
from Compuserve.)

Otherwise you can mail your bug reports to me.  But then I get all the
credit for reporting them. :-)

When you report your bugs try to give as much information as possible, and
a step by step listing of how to make the bug appear.  If your version of
the Switcher is earlier than 2.0, try to get the 2.0 version and reproduce
the bug with it.

Mail your bugs to:

Thanks.
