        send-pr - sends bug reports to a central support site
  
! `send-pr' uses electronic mail to submit support questions and
! software bugs to a central site.  No piece of software is perfect, and
! software organizations understand this `send-pr' is designed to allow
! users who have problems to submit reports of these problems to sites
! responsible for supporting the software in question, in a defined form
! which can be read by an electronically managed database.
! 
! `send-pr' is part of a suite of programs known collectively as GNATS,
! an acronym for Problem Report Management System.  GNATS consists of
! several programs which, used in concert, formulate and partially
! administer a database of Problem Reports, or PRs, at a central support
! site.  A PR goes through several states in its lifetime; GNATS tracks
! the PR and all information associated with it through each state and
! finally acts as an archive for PRs which have been resolved.
  
  The same engine can be used to submit bugs to any number of support
  sites by setting up aliases for each of them; `send-pr' error-checks

  `send-pr' invokes an editor on a problem report template (after trying
  to fill in some fields with reasonable default values).  When you exit
! the editor, `send-pr' sends the completed form to the support site.
! At the support site, the PR is assigned a unique number and is stored
! in the GNATS database according to its category and customer-id.  GNATS
! automatically replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and
! the PR number.
  
! See the Texinfo file `send-pr.texi' or the Info file `send-pr.info'
