Bugs and Features

The following behavior of RadioTracer may be considered ``peculiar'' (certainly, the on-going development will remove some of the short-comings):

1. The non-interactive mode needs a running X-Environment.
2. If memory is exhausted, RadioTracer exits with an error message.
3. If disk space is exhausted, simulations will not be interrupted. However, every write attempt results in an error message.
4. A running simulation cannot be interrupted. Please, use the possibility to store configuration files oftenly, so after a hard-break (Ctrl-C), the situation before having started the simulation can be restored.
5. RadioTracer does not automatically remove temporary files.
6. If you use a table driven color representation with few colors, other running programs may occupy the color space, this may result in color warnings on the controlling shell and/or rendering of black instead of the desired color.
7. The gray-scale images in PostScript-format do not use increasing gray level steps as one might expect.
8. RadioTracer does not ask whether you really want to exit the program.
9. The cursor shapes may be different in Windows as described in this manual.
10. The shortcut keys as control characters and the (Shortcut key: Z). do not work in Windows.
11. Message boxes containing file names, use always the slash / as path separator independently from the operating system used.
