If you get stuck

If you have problems using Insure++, please consult the comprehensive FAQ shipped with your distribution (FAQ.txt) first. The FAQ is also kept up-to-date on our web site. You can also obtain a copy of the most recent FAQ by sending an empty email message to faq@parasoft.com. If your problem is not discussed in this document, please follow the procedure below in contacting our Quality Consulting department.

• Check the manual.
  
• Attempt to isolate a suspected bug to a trivial example. A good method is to remove half of the code and try compiling again, repeating the process until the problem is isolated to ten or twenty lines. Often this procedure can suggest a fix or work-around.
  
• If the problem is not urgent, report it by e-mail to quality@parasoft.com or by fax to (626) 305-9048.
  
• Before calling Quality Consulting at (626) 305-0041, know your Insure++ version. You can easily find it by typing insure with no arguments.
  
• Know your operating system version. You can find it on most Unix platforms by typing uname -a.
  
• If you call, please use a phone near your computer. The quality consultant may need you to try things while you are on the phone.
  
• Be prepared to recreate your problem.
  
• Please be patient.
