errors the user submits to author in person. Only program errors
that can be reproduced and that interfere with the intended use of
the program as outlined in the documentation will be fixed. The
author can ask you to give some special data to correct the problem
and can ask you to check if you own a valid copy of the
FEBBS-package.

hardware and/or software configurations that causes one or more of
the programs in the FEBBS-package not to run correctly. If the
author chooses to NOT correct such a problem you are NOT entitled to
a refund of the license money.
