Ahem, here's a slightly better translation. Note that they don't
mention a port to X! X is the nickname of Ecole Polytechnique!

[QA] The splash screen: on the BeBox the background is red,
here it's blue -- is that normal?

[Eng] Yes... the BeOS 32-bit-to-8-bit color conversion on the PowerMac
has a bug.

[QA] What will the graph button do during connection?

[Eng] Nothing -- it only indicates stuff during a transfer.

[QA] It always crashes on connecting to Polytechnique [frowney] on StartFTP
and it's a ReadFault error.

[Eng] Ouch.

[QA] I presume you'll come do a stint at Polytechnique [smiley]

[Eng] That's the only way to find the problem.

[QA] So there's the beginning, I'll test the crashing problem again...
