***************************** REPORTING PROBLEMS *****************************
******************************************************************************
If you find a problem (i.e. bug) in uC/OS-II, do not hesitate to report
the problem to either:
1) Through e-mail:
My e-mail address is: Jean.Labrosse@Micrium.com
2) By writing to me at:
Micrium
1290 Weston Road, Suite 306
Weston, FL 33326
U.S.A.
c/o: Jean J. Labrosse
3) By calling Micrium:
(954) 217-2036
(954) 217-2037, FAX
Make sure that the problem you are reporting is in uC/OS-II and not your
application. If you in fact discover a bug in uC/OS-II, check the uC/OS-II
web site for a list of known bugs and their fixes:
www.Micrium.com
If you are using an older version, you should first get the lastest
version.

****************************** SOFTWARE UPGRADES *****************************
******************************************************************************
As you can see, I have been trying to support uC/OS (i.e. V1.xx) and now,
uC/OS-II. When bugs are found, I do my best to promptly correct them. It is
virtually impossible to notify everybody that purchased the code (i.e. the
diskette) to tell them that a new version is available. You should
occasionally check the uC/OS-II WEB site (www.ucos-ii.com) or the Micrium web
site (www.Micrium.com) to see what version is currently shipping.
I will not be upgrading the publisher everytime I add new features to
uC/OS-II.
I would highly suggest that you resist changing the STYLE of the code
unless you don't mind spending many hours doing so everytime you upgrade.
