Suggestions for posting questions

Don't hesitate to ask "simple" questions. If you've looked in the documentation and are still wondering about something, others probably are too. (See the Support Policy page for more ideas on how to find Ferret answers.)

Describe your question in the subject line. A subject line of "diurnal cycle" will receive more answers than "question", as people will recognize a topic they know about.

In your question, please say what version of Ferret and what operating system you are using. This information is in the header lines that appear when you start Ferret.

Go ahead and answer others' questions, using "Reply to All" so that your answer is posted to the list. The questionsand answers are what makes the list such a useful resource. A partial answer or some ideas that might help are fine.
