-====== Further Information ====== 
- 
-===== Windows and Linux specifics ===== 
- 
-The instructions and examples in this manual were written with reference to the //Microsoft Windows// operating systems. 
-Now, with Cafu being also available on //Linux//, I rely on the Linux users skills and experience to transfer the provided information to their favourite OS. 
-The transfer is almost always very easy to achieve: 
-Examples include that Linux has ''​.tar.gz''​ file archives versus ''​.zip''​ file archives on Windows, 
-and that the Linux executables have no file name suffix whereas the Window executables are suffixed by ''​.exe''​. 
- 
-I hope that this helps to keep this manual easy and intuitive to understand for everyone. 
-The alternative would had been to mention all speficics for each OS in each text fragment and each example. 
- 
- 
-===== Known Issues ===== 
- 
-  * The Linux port is still incomplete: The Options dialog is missing. 
-  * Sound drivers frequently cause problems under Linux. Therefore, Cafu ignores sound initialization failures on Linux, prefering no or broken sound output over no functionality at all. 
-  * The dynamic shadows are not always correct. The world is sometimes lit where no light should be. 
-  * Use the latest drivers for your video card. 
-  * Windows 95 and 98: Do not run Cafu from a full-screen DOS-Box. It will report an error.
