Break My Program - Beta Testers Needed! (FMSHelper)

Dear All,

I need your help. I'm looking for beta testers for a program that I'm writing. You can read all about it here:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=77389

Just to repeat a few facts, the basic idea of the program is that it will help people run off-season events. The program is completely FREE and is licensed under the GNU GPL (basically this means that it is open-source).

And so I am looking for more beta testers for the project so that I can ensure that it works correctly at any events that it is used for. Essentially what a beta tester does is just use the program to try to catch bugs in it. You can be as mean as you want to the program - take away files it depends on, etc. - and tell me if it crashes.

I really particularly need beta testers running Linux and Mac OSs. In theory, Java is completely compatible cross-platform, but I'd like to know for sure. I've done all of my testing so far on Windows.

To become a beta tester:

1. (Optional) e-mail me. You don't need to sign up or anything, but it would just be great to hear from you. My e-mail is <myusername>@gmail.com.
2. Download FMSHelper. It is available here:

www.team1719.org -> Library -> FMSHelper

(direct link if that doesn't work http://team1719.org/lib.html)
3. Make sure you have a Java Virtual Machine on your computer (see java.sun.com).
4. Follow the steps in the read-me to execute the program!

My hope is that this program can help people run their off-season events in an easy and reliable manner. Thanks in advance for your help!

Paul
