+These are known issues with the current version (0.60) of the BootCat front-end:
-- BUG (regression, Windows XP): the program hangs while collecting URLs, the problem is probably caused by improper handling of character encoding, a fix will be released shortly. __Workaround__: remove diacritics, the Yahoo search engine will probably insert them for you.
+  * Mac OS X: cut/copy/paste is supported using the non-standard CTRL-X/CTRL-C/CTRL-V key combination
-- No unicode support: at the moment, there are no plans to add it.

-- openjdk users: if you click on "Cancel" when the "Settings" dialog appears during the first run, the program doesn't quit (even if there is one blank option), this shouldn't happen since the program doesn't have all the necessary information to operate correctly (in fact if the path to one of the programs wasn't specified, the program will not work); this doesn't happen with Sun Java. __Workaround__: specify all paths correctly or install Sun Java.

-- sometimes checking the "I'm done selecting seeds" box doesn't activate the Next button. __Workaround__: uncheck and re-check the box, the button should activate.

+  * some users have reported problems when using BootCaT behind a proxy/firewall. A __workaround__ for MacOS has been reported (but it should work for Linux too): manually set the proxy from the command line, substituting ''my.proxy.org'' with the URL of your proxy and ''8080'' with the port of your proxy (you should be able to obtain these parameters from your network administrator)
+<code bash>
+export http_proxy=http://my.proxy.org:8080/
