Bug Reports and Giving Feedback

Needless to say, MIRIAD is not perfect. The mirbug

command can be used if you encounter a bug, have a question about a task, or have a suggestion. The format of the command is

% mirbug taskname

Here taskname is the task in question. Use the name ``general'' if the bug report is not about a specific task. The mirbug command places you in an editor (given by the EDITOR environment variable), with a template of a bug report, which includes the parameters most recently used for that task. After you finish editing the template, mirbug mails the report to the appropriate people (generally the tasks author plus some others).
