1.	Where can I find documentation about ruby?
	Try the offical Ruby website: http://www.ruby-lang.org/
2.	I don't have IPv6 connectivity but ZoneCheck is still using IPv6 addresses.
	ZoneCheck only look for an enabled IPv6 stack to authorize the use of IPv6 addresses. It would be a good idea to disable the IPv6 stack on your computer if you don't have the connectivity or you can use the `-4` option to force IPv4 only connectivity.
3.	I want to use an interface other than the CLI
	Use the environment variable `ZC_INPUT` set to your input mode, or use the command line option `--INPUT=im`. The input modes currently supported are `CLI`, `CGI` and `GTK`
4.	The `-d lvl` option doesn't display earlier debugging messages
	Some debugging messages are sent before the debugging level is initialised by the command line, in this case use the environment variable `ZC_DEBUG` set to the desired level. But keep in mind that `ZC_DEBUG` will be overrided by the `-d lvl` option.
5.	make failed to configure or install ZoneCheck
	You should use the GNU version of the make program, sometimes called gmake. You should also have ruby installed, if it wasn't detected you need to force the `RUBY` variable to point to your `ruby` program (with fullpath if necessary).
6.	I would like to easily test ZoneCheck without doing a make install
	You can define the environment variable `ZC_INSTALL_PATH` to the initial ZoneCheck directory.
7.	Why do I get rubish or wrong results when doing the `chk_icmp`
	ZoneCheck use the command ping to perform this test, so you should set the constants `ping4` and `ping6` in the configuration file so that the ping is correctly invoked: stop after 5 echo request, doesn't output messages, and return an exit code of 0 in case of success. If you are using ZoneCheck on the Window plateform, you better remove the test.
8.	Why did I get strange characters when using a locale other than US/English?
	The default encoding is UTF-8, either you can configure your terminal to use UTF-8, or you can specify the desired encoding after the locale by using a dot as separator (ex: LANG=fr.latin1); in the last case the ruby-iconv package should have been installed
9.	ZoneCheck complains about the lack of TCP connectivity for a djbdns/tinydns name server
	Unfortunately, by default, djbdns/tinydns does not listen with TCP. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tcp.html to enable it.
