To help us provide you with the best possible service, please provide the following:

• Source and list files if you think the problem may be a compiler problem. ZIP up these files (mail programs may reformat text files) and attach them to the e-mail. Be sure to send all your included files and a clear problem description.
• Identify a particular line in the list/source file if applicable. The easier you make it for us to understand your problem, the faster we can reply.
• When CCS responds and you have a follow up question or are seeking additional information, include the original message and zip file if applicable. We get a large quantity of e-mails and can lose time searching for old messages and reconstructing the history of your problem.
• Do NOT simply send your source code with a note indicating that this is the problem discussed about on the phone - it is most likely that we will not remember the particulars of the call.
