<question>It doesn't work!</question>
<answer>
<p>
- Ok, that wasn't a question, but we'll try to respond anyway. :)
- Jackcess is young, and not that robust yet. As you might imagine,
- it's kind of hard to test, simply by its nature. There are
- bugs that we are aware of, and certainly many more that we are not.
- If you find what looks like a bug, please
- <a href="http://sf.net/tracker/?group_id=134943&amp;atid=731445">report it.</a>
- Even better, fix it, and
