thanks for reporting that. I did have a look yet, but you can now open
bug reports on

	http://www.quickfixengine.org/bugtracker

Just get your own account and file a bug report. In this way, we can
easier track all issues and you see when an issue is solved.

Actually, the person who does 99% of all QF development is Oren. Check
the sourceforge.net site to see which people also have commit access to
the repository. But if your going to report more such things you may ask
Oren for commit access.

Yes, that's very good! The new FIX repository is only accessible to
members so we have to use the Word documents. There are tools doing
that, but they are limited. So check the CVS repository on sourceforge
for all things not yet fixed and file bug reports. BTW, Oren has written
a tool to convert the FIX repository to the QuickFIX data dictionary.

In summary, your efforts to verify the QuickFIX data dictionary are
highly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Cheers, Jörg
